The same power that has kept the world peace for the last 50 years? How is that a bad thing?

  > world peace for the last 50 years I think you might have a different definition of "peace" than many people because we haven't had "world peace" for 50 years at all. Just look at how many conflicts are currently ongoing in the world (and how many of those are caused by US meddling...)

    Actually.. if you look at the "We-are-not-involved"-strategy obama tryied- im not so sure, the world would be much peacefuller without the US. Those saudi-iran proxi wars - the various religious conflicts- they would all continu, if the US vannished today. Im not so sure if UN Involvement is really helpfull either. I start to see the seperation solution that pakistan and india drove as quite a good solution for the meddle-east.

  one mans peace is another mans tyranny. why are you ignoring the dozens of brutal dictatorships the US has instituted and kept in power over the past century +?

  Remember peace is most probably a byproduct of total US hegemony. Russia and China have been very peaceful last 30 years and they were not dominated. So I wouldn't attribute the peace of the world to the "invisible US hand"...

  > world peace for the last 50 years By 'world' you mean Mars, right?

  Ask the orphans of Iraq, Afghanistan, or Syria how peaceful the U.S.is

  In fact, a larger majority of the world consider that the USA is the very power that has kept the world at war for the last 80 years .. and they're kind of right.
