Maybe if the US actually had values and cared for the world and its people... but it doesn't. The US is run by corporations who only care about cost-effectiveness so only the rich can get richer and the working class people lose even more power.

Yeah well, move here to Utah, and hide behind the Zion Curtain, featuring a bunch of nice obedient white Mormons, each of whom is supposed to have a year's supply of food stockpiled in the basement for religious reasons...

The foreign threats to the Western civilization today are pretty lame in terms of raw power. Neither Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, India, Pakistan, Russia nor other unstable nations who are constantly in conflict, either with themselves or perceived enemies, stand little to no chance against a military West.
Yet a handful of people can orchestrate an attack against WTC in America and set off bombs in Europe. How come? Because on the inside, we are weak

I know it is wiki, but still, the big evil walmart started out as a local store, but was run well and filled a need that people had.
On the other hand I am very positive that those who protect the President see the very same thing and I hope they are able to mount a counter strategy.
