The Shadow Minister of Defense for the UK right after 911 said in a speech before Parliment. "The United States has been the guarntor of Global Security since 1945, if the US fails to act (in response to 911) militarily Global Security will fail."
The US is the 500 lb Gorillia militarily and economically. The US is akin to the Roman Empire of old. It is not a empire where we occupy but use economic means to do our bidding. Money is the weapon of choich. The US military acts as a policeman to keep the worlds streets safe, to insure that rogues don't upset the apple cart. Mickey Mouse, Coca Cola and McDonalds is far more effective in projecting American power than any army could ever hope to do. Take a look at the Global economy and tell me where American influence doesn't touch the lives of people.
