Western civilization is pretty much dependant on the United States.
Don't get me wrong, westernized countries are very powerful, both economically and politicallly, but the united states as a superpower holds them together.
I think that the United States and the principals it holds are very vital to the entire world. However, I am not niave enough to believe that it will last forever (or even the remaining time the world has).
