Superpowers are safer from small invasions but get the attention of more world based hostility as well as the fear of other existing super powers, foreign terror isn't my biggest concern except in the global issue of peace which is no different than the personal or local issues of peace. Its just that the Iraq war is a very big issue here, we don't take war lightly, and fear we may have truly been decieved on the pretenses of that war. We know our politicians lie, as well as all humans, but we don't want to become complacent to that, to allow it to keep happening, I don't know if you are familiar with bush's history and family past, but money and power have proven to be their main goals, and we don't want that to be our only goals, do you think the world would be better if all run by america? I couldn't say personally. The issues that you point out to be more relavant are agreeable so, and we fight about it all the time, but the peole are left very powerless and uninformed around here, led more by government coercion and emotional influence than rational thinking, a lot goes into running a big prodiuctive country, and a lot of people get left in the cracks, I know from experience. See, we have developed a frame of mind that people who need help are just lazy and in need of criticism rather than help and teaching. If you don't get what you need to take care of yourself by 18, you are screwed. People over here will talk all day about how loving and caring we need to be, but then most people just don't want to share or help eachother, partially because there are so many people who can't seem to help themselves and no one wants to acknowledge or take responsibility for it. If it appeared I was avoiding any of your questions I'm sorry, I may have missed or misunderstood something, so please feel free to ask again.
