Do you consider the USA a threat to the World?

^ note to above, i can understand you're from quebec like me, but huh.... there's a huge difference between "treat" and "threat" Just pointing. ^^;

I think globalism is a much bigger threat to the world than the USA.

'The Americans are crazy!'

attacking Iran at this point is the worst possible course of action, there will be a revolution in Iran against the Ayatollah, he is finished. The only way he could retain any sort of legitimacy is if someone attacked Iran, say, Israel. That would be a catastrophic and ridiculous foregin policy...oh, ok, I nearly forgot about the last decade.


and yes the US is a threat, unlike islam it has both the means and the will (as with Islam in the 'is islam a threat' thread I refer to those in power and not the people). leading upto the second world war the US was involved in approximately 1.2 military conflicts every year, after WW2 that rose to 2.1.

One of the few positives of the recession is that it will severely restrict the scope of operations of the US government, "n number of million unemployed and you want to invade countries x, y and z? have you seen the bill for Iraq???? get a grip mr president!!" And Obama is just a nice face for slightly smarter imperial policies.

There's almost zero chance of a revolution being sucessful in iran. I don't see america attacking another country for a while either, although as a previous poster has stated, it wouldn't surprise me if the need arised to see it outsourced to israel.

Every nuclear power is a threat to the world.

Hmm... maybe they are not THAT threatening.

Nothing threatens your credibility like a typo

where does it say million? it says 1.2 and 2.1 military conflicts. And the figures come from Sardar and Wyn-Davies Why do people hate America?, before any reactions to the title it is a pretty well balanced examination/exploration of the same question some americans asked in the immediate aftermath of 9/11

nothing hurts your credibility so much as not being able to read

The "world" will be here long after us Americans. I thought we were just a "paper tiger"?

America needs a "military presence" in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean and Eastern Europe.

Do Canada or Mexico or Sweden or New Zealand claim that they need a military presence in Eastern Europe?

Does Canada, Mexico or Sweeden view themselves as the world's police?
