Chuckles: Good Info. Your point is well made and easily understood. There is no doubt that America is a rogue superpower. But every other country, big and small, has its own little "dirty business" department. Politics is a global phenomena, and politicians, like dogs, can smell each other a mile apart. There's power, greed, corruption and influence in all governments. But for now "Pax Americana" has replaced "Pax Romana" as the World's dominant power. Even though I don't own a gun, I'm thankful to be a citizen of the World's most powerful country.
