How can we counteract the growing threat the USA poses to world peace?

Convince citizens of the USA to get out and VOTE. Most citizens oppose what their leaders are doing....less than 70% of eligible americans vote at all....

Mmm it’s hard to accept this fact, but it's true. The worst of this situation is that is too late to stop this process, and there's nothing we can do. The key for the success in the US was the relation of respect that we had with God and humanity, but at this time the US only cares about wars. Sadly, we'll have to accept the idea that US will collapse sooner or later, and that's when we will realize that we are not alone in this world, because there's others countries and we have to learn how to live together. If Empires like Roman fell down, why the US Empire had to be this exception? This is the hard reality. I just can’t assure you how long will this process take, but it’s for sure that it’ll happen, someday, somehow.

We have our own invasion going on in the US, that we need to take care of.

No the USA is not the policeman of the world. Though we are the superpower, its not our job, and should not be our money that props up the whole world. I say close the boarders, bring home all the troops, take care of the USA and the world care for its self. God Bless

i am sorry to say this... but you will if only USA and other nations stop getting involved with the middle eaterns countries problem. you know, they can solve this themselves if given the chance. the armies and wars and bomb attacks are just making it worst. toleration is the key. you want peace... then let them be. if they can't stop fighting themselves, then its their problem but honestly by intervene you are just making it worst. diplomacy, communication, unity are the main thing. just because some nations are bigger and more powerful does not mean they have the right on everybody else, nation, humans and life. be realistic. think about it. oh by the way, they have jihad but not against USA its against the people who fight against their country, beliefs and religion. all muslims are in jihad mode not just in the middle east. if you don't understand the true meaning of jihad, don't ever talk about it.

I know that this is a political question, but I don't think that any human effort can solve this complex issue.  There appears to be a great deal of fear-mongering, and information appears to be skewed.  I do not trust any intelligence that the Americans have used, since it was twisted to make their ends justified.  I know how the British work, I've talked to someone who belonged in the SAS. (Secret Armed Service)  What is at stake, and the Americans, sadly, feed it with their life-style, is a great deal of oil.  I would like to say:  get rid of your dependancy on oil, but the oil companies are so used to power that they will do anything to subvert any efforts in that direction.\n\nFor true peace to happen, peace must first begin with individuals, then with families, then with communities, then finally, with countries.  \n\nI think that it's gotten out of hand and no one knows how to stop it.

Not likely. The U.S has made a bad thing worse. Bush is a war-monger, and as long as he's in power, war is inevitable.

Increase our efforts in the war against Islamic Jihadist. Get tougher on those countries (Iran and Syria) supporting and fomenting terrorism as a way to spread  Islam to the world\nSeal the boarders by extending the fence and electronic monitoring. Prosecute companies that hire illegal aliens. Return to their native lands all illegals that are caught.\nMake permanent the tax cuts.... Better, disband the currant tax system and replace it with the Fair Tax (national sales tax)

US is the only country with military presence in most part of the world. And, US has been the cause of most of the problems in the world.\n\nLook at Afghanisthan - developing the Taliban to topple Soviets, look at Iran - supporting Islamists (Iran Contra affair, other deals) to topple the Shah; funding Saudi Arabia so that they can spread their wahhabbi madrassas, and train millions of jihadists; American companies and CIA causing such destruction in South America, including toppling elected government, that the whole region is now electing communist/ socialist presidents.\n\nIn our kindergarten, we were taught - You spill the milk, you mop the floor.\n\nSo, US has to mop the floor, all over the world, whether it likes to or not. Else, all this will get even worse.

Allow Muslims to resolve their own internal conflicts, remove the US and coalition troops from the Middle East. \n\nTheir people must have the desire to create change. \n\nThe US is responsible for the current unrest in the Middle East and should acknowledge that publicly. Admit our mistakes and be willing to help resolve the problem IF (and only IF) we are asked to. Otherwise stay out and let them resolve it.\n\nA joint effort to restore tranquility must come from all neighboring countries. Non-military efforts should be tried first, focus on restoring the desire for peace among the people in that area. At the same time, raise the quality of life above survival mode and try to police the areas in order to reduce crime and violence.\n\nOtherwise, the chaotic cycle will continue.

I really don't have an answer to your question, but I think we could go along way toward world peace by disbanding the military and just building a purely defensive force. We could protect our borders better if we concentrated our resources on protection of our own country. Things like happened on 9/11 would not be able to happen. I also think that the money saved would be better spent on the American people in need. Health care being one of my biggest issues. That being said there are to many greedy repuglicans in this country to ever happen, but it is my dream world.

First of all, bringing Democracy & freeing the oppressed is not policing the world, it's the American way & the olny moral thing to do. De Oppresso Libre\n\nSecond, yes we should. Yes it could become a wider war against the extremist branch of Islam, but that's what we're already fighting & can't bring them to decisive battle. Yes you are talking about a big hairy problem, especially given the delicate nature of Iraq, but the right thing to do is bring this evil philosophy to battle where we can destroy it. \n\nIs that what we will do? No. We'll use mostly airstrikes against nuclear facilities, gut their military, & attempt to take out the Guardian Council & President. There will also be some major special operations actions against certain facilities that we cannot destroy from the air w/o use of nuclear weapons (which we won't be using). This will delay development for 2-5 years. We will follow this with an external campaign to elect reformers & overthrow the theocratic rule. That will be less successful. We will be attacked by terrorists for taking this action, and it will have been worth teh price to keep Muslim extremist from having a nuclear weapon, or scientest with the knowledge of how to make one suddenly being rented out to al Qaeda, or perhaps every other Islamic Country that dislikes America or Israel.

I would seek open, internationaaly monitorred dialogue with those who oppose the US, to see what it is that they really want, and need. The US is now in the position to play Santa Claus to the world. While we may not give what they want, we may be able to help with what they need, and in turn get some folks off of our backs. A good portion of the problem s we see, today, come from negligence, whether intentional or not. Others come as a result of politics from before most of our times. \n\nAn invitation to a no-strings-attached summit would put the onus upon our detractors, and place the US back where it belongs. The place of a well to do neighbor, who can help their community. Of course, that comes with the understanding that in a community of nations we become symbiotic with one another. Those who want to be outside of that know where the door is.

Certainly not.\n\nForce can be used and will be used for everthing, by the people who can use it.\n\nto keep the "global order" we are used to see, there's need of total control over our lifes, and all the violence needed to exterminate de threats against that order.\n\nyou may think by now we must have learnt something from our deads, from our wars, from the results of our own cruelty.\nwell, i can see clearly all people talking about peace has been always, in all countries, killed.\n\nso, the only "effective way" is to have more exterminating power. \nand control. check this up: \nhttp://www.lanacion.com.ar/exterior/nota.asp?nota_id=855347&origen=ranking

1. Don't spend a trillion dollars invading a place like Iraq.\n\n2. Work with the UN to resolve international issues instead of acting unilaterally - it's very disrespectful to other countries.\n\n3. Don't give tax breaks to the wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans - we have a huge deficit.\n\n4. Crack down on coroprate fraud such as Enron.\n\n5. Don't ally with the energy companies in secret meetings to set US energy policy. Aggressively pursue alternative fuels.\n\n6. Maintain strong environmental protections.\n\n7. Sign the Kyoto accord on global warming . . . can you say "hurrican season"?\n\n8. Don't have your vice president leak the name of covert CIA agents such as Valerie Plame.\n\nI could go on.

to exploit it in full.\nhow can they make it a safe place by using force and weapons is a way only americans know, or don't wanna know.
