Re your concerns about US global domination

Come on now, enough with the hyperbole. The US has been a superpower for 60 years, the beginning of which was marked with rebuilding Europe and Japan insead of enjoying the spoils of war, then turned to creating international organizations like NATO and the UN as a response to Soviet expansion, and then worked to clean up hotspots like Yugoslavia, Kuwait, and Bosnia.

I can't say I approve every US action in that span of time (particularly in South America and Southeast Asia), but the basis of comparison is the Europeans. This is a group of people who, when they had the power to, raped and pillaged the rest of the planet for 500 years, before just about destroying themselves in two wars. Now suddenly they're the moral compass for the rest of the planet?

Well, one thing that must be admitted is that saving all their lives in theird world countries during the 1960's with genetically modified super crops that their soil couldn't support for very long caused mass famines and death when that food wasn't available anymore. 

If you feed stupid people, their birthrate goes up, so wars and the like become more likely with the extra population.  Not saying there's a direct cause there, there might have been wars anyway.

I am not >>20 BTW.
