Currently, the United States of America is the One and Only Superpower. How is this working for us and how is it working for the world? Does it promote diplomacy when we all know that eventually in the process of a dispute we all know that the good ole USA will eventually send in troops. Then we end up with the "Great Decider"
We could draw down our military capabilities here in the USA , saving lots of money, and cause the World at large to ...talk to each other. What if we had enough to protect ourselves and recognized that other countries will be ....less that democratic and probably Tyrannical.
In todays news ...Are we going to take out Robert Mugabe, or The descendant of the Sun in North Korea...or what about Chavez? The answer is nothing will be done. This was part of the argument against invading Iraq...if we are going to remove Saddamm why not remove these others?
If we have less of an army we will need others to help to make war and we will have to have an international consensus before action is taken. Then we are not out there alone. Because really, the reason we have spent 3 Trillion dollars ,lost too many lives and given Iran a better regional grasp is because of decisions made by a small group of people; Cheney,Bush,Andy Card,and Condi Rice. Really, Strategy was made by these people.....that impacted THE WORLD.

None of the others have gassed or invaded anybody else yet. :-)
Besides, some things are possible, some are not. There's no practical way we could take out North Korea, for instance. Doesn’t mean we should not do the possible.
