What if they werent there?
Then the US could afford to spend money on health care, giving children a decent education and reducing their environmental impact. Man, that would just be shit.
I get what you're saying MaddDogg, the role of the US as 'daddy to the world' has, at times, increased global stability. At other times it has done the opposite though. I think the world would be a lot happier NOT having a country trying to dictate what everyone does.
Sophie (the world): But please daddy, can I go and play in my dolls house? (i.e. run our countries the way we would like);
Daddy (the US): No Sophie, you must do what I want or else you'll get a smack (military intervention) and I won't give you any desert (trade sanctions).
