I think the US needs to focus more on domestic issues. Immigration, poverty, jobs, ownership of resources, and a bunch more. Some days I wish we were like New Zealand, Australia or Scandanavia.
Yes, there are some problems in the world. Should we do something about Dafur? What about Iran? Is Iran really a bad place, or are we brainwashed by the media and government? Pakistan has a nuclear bomb, but we aren't worried too much about them. Pakistan also had an earthquake and couldn't help it's population, kind of like New Orleans here.
I agree that religion is going to play a big part in the next world war. I'm not sure if there is a way for muslims and jews to like each other. There is so much propaganda and actual violence on both sides that something will happen sooner or later. And now that the US needs the oil from the middle east, we are going to get brought into it as well.
We can't continue to spend money at the rate that we are, so either the rest of the world will become peaceful and improve to a basic western standard of living, or there will be disagreements and violence because we are different.
