What a silly poll.

I suppose Europe considers the world to be bounded within Southwest Asia.

If that were the case then we would certainly be the gravest threat to peace, probably even moreso than Israel. But where else are we a threat?

Pacific rim? I think not. North Korea takes that cake.

Central Asia? Nope, our war in Afghanistan pales in comparison to the Russian war in Chechnya.

Africa then, surely. No? Oh yeah, our only military presence there is keeping Liberians from hacking each other to bits.

Have we threatened anyone in Europe recently? Nope, we just spend billions of dollars a year maintaining SFOR and KFOR troop, a job the Europeans should probably be doing since it is their backyard.

South America then... Hell, all of our military efforts there go toward drug eradication.

Greatest threat to world peace? I think not. Poverty and hunger take that prize.

Oh yeah, who feeds more people each year than all of europe combined?
