I favor allowance for everyone who wishes to be allowed to leave.
Myself, I am comitted here.
I think this includes an underestimation of how much the US has enabled the rest of the world to advance.
Both World Wars started with European problems and ended with European famines, the USA chose the winners in both of those conflicts and fed the survivors each time.
The Cold War was really a European product also , but it wound up being fought everywhere, the USA chose the winner again, while teaching the poor to farm and feeding outright those too poor to farm.
Nothing lasts forever, the basic nature of Americans is not militaristic , President Obama plans to reduce military spending , and his opposition does too. I feel we are likely to return to the small military caricteristic of our first century and a half.Our spending on social programs already outstrips military spending by a wide margin, we may reduce entitlements but we may wait untill it is too late to save the system by pruning it.
The USA has shaped the world as it is , can the world as it shall be, be peacefull without a policeman?
