Man am I glad I came in for lunch.

The U.S. has literaly sat astride the world in three distinct eras and gone home each and every time, returning the wealth and treasure of nations. In the case of WWII, we actually helped to create wealth and treasure in the nations just defeated. No other nation state has/will do the same.

The rest of the the world was exhausted at the end of WWI. We were not. Put Ceasar in the american drivers seat and the colonies and lands of Europe were ours.

WWII. We all know the drill. Let Naploeon write the american screen play and the Pacific Fleet and armies get sent to Europe...we play tag with Russia and win.

Persian Gulf War part one. Who is going to tell us to go home, or stop if we don't want too? Let Stalin set the pace and we're paying less than a buck a gallon for gas.

My point is that none of the above scenarios are rational and acceptable because American's are different...thanks Tabs.
