Unfortunately there is no other country in the world with the U.S. 's level of authority, if the was another Super State (to coin a phrase), I don't think we would as many problems as we do. Perhaps, with some luck in a few years we will have a Federal Europe and then perhaps the world will return to balance. Not to rival the U.S. but to provide an alternative to the U.S. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

It may astound you to learn that I needed to look up the NATO site to get a clue as to what you were talking about, given your unwillingless to answer a simple question. a/ NATO has 19 member countries. Belgium Canada Czech Republic Denmark France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Spain Turkey United Kingdom United States b/ I vaguely remember NATO peacekeepers going into some area in 1999 to stop two ethnic groups from blowing the hell out of each other, but given your unwillingless to anser a civil question, I can only assume you mean > Vietnam was a hell of a thing.

I doubt the average American would view it as anything beyond an act designed to end WWII, and my point stands. The Japanese are as guilty, but it appears the difference is you don't hate them.
