The US is the most powerful nation in the world. We would win a war against any one country, even if we couldnt survive atacking the entire world. We get pulled into wars because our allies go to war/get attacked. The reason we don't win every conflict is because of the god damned polocy of "limited war" that was started with the Korean War. We try to force agressors back into their privious place, but not further. These Cold-War tactics will not work in modern conflicts.
We have the power, we should use it resposibly to protect our intrests. Protecting other peoples intrests costs us money and lives, but it gains us allies that will help us prevent the loss of money and lives.
Unfortuneatley, the UN is made up of a bunch of very small(relitively speaking) countries that want to exert their combined power over the US in an effort to enhance their own interests.
I say that we should continue trade and world contact, but remove ourselves from the UN. Isreal, Britain, Canada, and some other countries have been solid allies to us, and we should help them, but the rest of the world is just jealous of or success through freedom while their socialized systems cannot keep pace.
If they get pissed at us for leaveing the UN, let them show their true collors and atack us. Offencively, we couldn't defeat them all, but defenceively they couldn't defeat use either, and they would come out the worst because many of them are dependent on our traid and charity.
Bring it on, you try to take Texas, you'll have a hell of a time. Most of us are armed down here.

this is the most sensible thing ever said ! George Washington warned the USA before he stepped down to not go involved with the old world because it would mess us up. LOOK WHAT ITS DONE !!! I don't like how all these big countries keep breaking up into small ones. Its like were going backwards into Kingdoms again ! We should remove ourselves from allies although I feel that we should pay attention to the countries in Northern American and try to spread wealth into Mexico and help out Canada but they're doing fine as it is but I'm sure if America handed them the foriegn aid we gave the world Canada would be a lot happier. I wish we could make Canada a close ally and mexico too if they pulled out of it. We should keep a neatrul response with all other countries and not interfer with matters that would not effect us. We should still maintain constant export and import of each others products though because eveyone would benefeit from it. (probauly more complicated than this)
this maybe stupid but I'm sure with the agressivness and ambition of America not the mention the money we could make North America Super Country. That would have been so great and it most likely would have happened if it had not been for world war I where we got a taste of being the big boys of the world and we liked it too much.
damnit now I'm depressed the world I created was to happy
