You know I've been reading the responses from this thread, and this is the exact arrogance and ignorance i was talking about. No wonder the world doesn't like us. It's like everyones minds are closed and no one thinks for themselves.
And to clear up some things, I don't care how big China's army is, they cannot fight outside their own country. Lets not forget how many times they've been invaded throughout history.
Also the reason why I chose England as the most powerful, is because they don't boast about their military accomplishments (at least i haven't heard any). And don't forget how many common wealths they still have. Way more than we have that's for sure. And from what i hear (very reliable U.S. Army source) their special forces are the elite best of the best worldwide (that means better then the Green Berets and Delta Force units). As a whole the citizens probably don't like P.M. Blair, but they love the Queen and guess what, she's still head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. And last time i checked, the last time America demanded anything from England it was the Revolutionary war. You know the whole freedom thing.
Furthermore a user from the U.K. stated that I shouldn't say England but the U.K. I know it's the U.K., but at the center of the U.K. is London, England. That's where all the decisions are made. Thanks for taking the time to read this. And I'm sorry if i got anyone mad, but open up your minds and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Took the words right out my mouth.

No, I'm not. The outside world created us..we'd be nothing if the rest of the world decided we weren't worth the effort. We live in a symbiotic world..we're only powerful because the powers that be find our relationship to be mutually beneficial. If China decided not to trade with the U.S., increase the price of it's products, and sell them in bulk elsewhere the U.S. would be a collective cripple. If the M.E. decided to close the tap on the U.S. the U.S. would be a vegetable. We're already on life support as it is. We have MAJOR economic and political weaknesses.
