Pacifier makes goods points - so far as those on List #2 are concerned. It seems almost comical how those who are somewhere out in liberal land can see absolutely positively nothing good in what the US does abroad
Again, it is only "The USA is the ultimate good" or "the USA is the evil"
I never said, and I never will say that the USA has done nothing good, but the USA, like every othernation has good and bad sides, has made good decisions and bad.
I as a liberal can see that, you seem to ignore the errors of you nation.

''Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.''
Arthur Schopenhauer

I honestly believe we could do this, and it would effect us less than any other nation on earth in the process.
Fact: You economic dates (balance of trade deficit) show clearly that you import more than you export. You surely can adopt but still you will loose, and on a longer term you will fall back behind the world. Cooperation is the key.

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
