I think the USA should just leave the rest of the world alone,we've got enough of our own problems to deal with.

Oh yeah that would be a bad idea but ya know what though it is inevitable because the European Union is actually gonna replace the United Nations as an International body I am not even kidding.\n\nAmerica is wrongfully accused of building an Empire but Europe is gonna overtake America as a Global Power.\n\nI am indeed an American Patriot but I know what is happening.\n\nCheck some Bible Prophecies for more info.

Yes. \nMaybe we should just stop arming other countries and worry about ourselves.

I think NO.  Let's reverse the question, should China take over the world. I think NOT.  The question is realy, should we impose our values and culture on other people.  Look at Iraq, which we supposedly attacked to support "democratic" reform.  It's been a botched job, from the get go.  Now lets take what has been a 3 year process, 280 billion spent, thousands dead and wounded( and I am not talking just US personell) and Iraq is only twice the size of Idaho.\n\nNow extend that a million times and ask the question again.

I agree The U.S. should mind their own business and quit trying to run the world.

Define 'dominating' in this context. No, Asia will not take over the world since there will be a lot of countries disagreeing with such plan. But the population in China is quite extreme.

America of course ,how can there be any doubts about that.\nbecause they are going to take control of the world by force and most likely start a nuclear war.\nnot even talking about all the wars they were involved in  or how many people they have already killed.\n\n Millions of people's lives have been destroyed by lack of knowledge in the past. Today, Billions more may succumb to the lies and hatred of those who strive with all their might to mold our perceptions and minds. There exists a small group of powerful people, David Rockefeller \nis one of them, who today command vast fortunes and they wish to own and control the entire world for themselves. A small number of the rich and powerful have learned how to incrementally control the vast majority of us through our own individual prejudices, desires, and \ngreed. When stacked up, that represents almost a total power monopoly over humanity into a few hands. \n\nThe Bush family, beginning with Prescott Bush, have served as satraps of the Rockefeller, Brown, and Harriman interests. President Bush is simply a puppet of this powerful cabal, and their schemes will be carried out by whatever next president comes to power to effect an insane, murderous plot for global dominance.

No one person should rule the world.  I would immediately turn the world into a democracy.

US was an independent country, so it controlled its own territoty, but not much beyond it (the present world domination started after WWII)

Well, this may come as a shock to you, but Americans DO own MOST of the world.  The entire world's economy is based on the US dollar. Technology and productivity, human rights, and quality of life have improved ALL OVER THE WORLD because of American innovative thought and ( YES!! ) compassion!\n\nWhy are we now embroiled in a situation where MANY ( NOT ALL!! ) non-American's hate us?..I think it is JEALOUSY!!\nYes, there are GREEDY and SELFISH American's...But I think you'll find those faults also in other cultures.\n\nBottom line: Americans only want the BEST for everyone!!..We don't want to conquer or impose our will on anyone.  But we will fight to preserve our way of life! And the world would be better off if other governments would simply recognize that fact, and let us HELP them.\n\nDon't under sell American resilience and resourcefullness!\nWe will be a powerful force to deal with for MANY more years.\n\nDon't tread on us!!

The US is one of the most powerfull contries in the world. And with great power comes great responsibliy. The USA is just trying to make the world a better place, and they want to spread demcracy. The US does not mean any harm, there just trying to prevent nuclear war.

Yes. We should've taken over Canada and Mexico when we had the chance.  Manifest destiny, baby... BOOYAH!\n\nqutab_afghan: Insha Allah this [grabbing my crotch], douchebag!

You must be joking. Take over England? England already took everyone over. I'm Irish, I should know. I think you should write your President a letter and ask him to take over England.

Well, there's two ways of looking at it.\nFirstly, as you say, in an increasingly globalized world no nation--no matter how powerful or wealthy--can afford to be selfish or motivated by narrow, self-centered interests. Thus, the USA too must adapt to the new realities and requirements of this age. It must strive to be more friendly and sympathetic towards other nations and generally develop a more positive attitude in its dealings with the rest of the world.\nThe other aspect is, that all nations have their own interests at stake, ultimately. And the USA also has its interests to watch and protect. But even if this is the case, it doesnt mean that it can ride rough-shod over other nations and interfere indiscriminately in their affairs.\n There is a dire need for it to strike the right balance between (a) national self-interest and (b) global needs, concerns and relations.\nIf the US wants to play a greater, more responsible role in world politics, it should do so with legitimacy i.e., by being a part of international organizations and acting in concord with them not by trying to usurp the role of the UN or other, similar agencies.

HATE TO DISAGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE...bUT THEY ARE WRONG IN ASSUMING THAT THE US WIOULD LOOSE AGAINST THE WORLD FOR ONE VERY GOOD REASON !!!\n    If the entire world's navies were combined, they MIGHT make a good show against the US's Atlantic Fleet.  But then they would have to deal with the US Pacific Fleet and no combination of world power would allow them to do that.  Oh, and let's not forget the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Med. Fleet.  \n     With control of the worlds oceans we are left with only Mexico, Central America, Canada and South America to control at first and they wouldn't stand a chance.  \n     With two continents under our control and with our Navy devastating world cities across the globe, how long till the rest of the world cries uncle?

No and quite frankly why should anyone help the Americans to solve this problem. The civilised world was screaming at them not to invade Iraq, but no America knows best. So really America should clean up this mess and finally realise that war is not just cruise missiles flying over the skies of Baghdad in a pyrotechnic display of shock and awe. \n\nAmerica was founded by a group of idealists that wanted to remove the shackles of imposed government. May be it is time that America returns back to it's founding fathers and reexamines it's gun ho attitude to the world. \n\nMay be she can realise that yes Saddam Hussein was a tyrant, but for a civilised world, there has to be alternative to war and bloodshed. Is that not why the UN was set up after the second world war to try and avoid the carnage being repeated?
