> Because China would be a far less benevolent world hegemon than the U.S. There are nearly a million Iraqi dead, killed in a war George W. Bush intentionally started, based on evidence he personally knew to be false. > gee, wouldn't it be great if some other country had military dominion over ours? You know, I rarely dream of military dominion over Denmark, or subjugation by. Maybe it's the civilization speaking. The USA is a walking embodiment of a stereotypical second-amendment nut - "I need my gun in case someone else has a gun!". Better get two! > most people have to resign themselves to that state of affairs, but Americans do not You're trolling, right? Because Switzerland is the example of a country that said "Don't tread on me". The USA on the other hand has waged war on and committed horrible atrocities against its neighbors constantly. Quick, name two countries whose democratic government you haven't destroyed. (No seriously, you've destroyed many (ten? more?) peaceful democracies and attacked other countries for not being democracies.) The USA is the bully. More than the bully, the murderers. The looters. And you seem to have elected yourself their chief spokesman. What gives?
