The question was theoretical and I was looking was sensible answers and theories
that had a modcum of thought put into them but unfortunately I find all I got was a
bunch of middle aged, red neck, computer bound (in so many differing levels) no
brainer guy's who are playing with themselves under the desk and who have no
experience of life ...[text shortened]... what you guy's will type, its so predictable.
Try thinking instead of the question again.

I'm asking you all if the world would be a better and safer place if America lost its military might?
I personally would like to see America broken up into four or five seperate countries and deny them the ability to have weapons of any kind.
USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!

Potentially...
Taiwan becomes Communist Chinese.
The Korean War goes hot again.
Iraq and Afghanistan become fundmentalist Islamic theocracies and terrorist bases again.
Russian pressure increases with Bears harassing what American warships are left.
Australia wets itself remembering the Japanese in WWII and how they no longer have American backup.
Piracy explodes.
Petty dictatorships increase in brazenness knowing the USA won't be able to step in and help (e.g. Iraq attacking Kuwait)
Massive war in the Middle East...
Could be bad!

you've got to wonder how Scotland would do if the world fell off the end of the peak oil cycle and its neighbors started eyeing the North Sea rigs.
