    It may appear a strange question considering the media reports of war- but we are still more peaceful today than in most of history.
    If we weren't the superpower we'd be totally against the concept

    We were not against the concept prior to WWII when Britain was the Empire that the sun didn't set on, or whatever they called themselves.

    We fought a revolution to escape a super power, we went into two world wars to fight oppressive militaristic forces hell bent on global domination. Today we are a combination of almost all of our former enemies in many ways.

    Chloe believes all the world's problems could be settled by gathering all world leaders together around a camp fire and have them sing Kum-ba-ya.

    The world is far from stable with us as a superpower nor was it stable when there were two. One massive military force does not make the world safer, more stable or happier unless you are either in that country or a friend of that power, and in many ways they aren't friends because they want to be. The US is that kid on the block that is a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier than the other kids. The other kids don't want to be beat up so they submit. That's not creating stability though, that's just being a bully. I think if we stopped thinking with our ego and stop assuming we are the best thing on earth then perhaps we'd see that there are many other nations that are just as good if not better.

    Not quite but keep thinking about it, I know it must be painful using that brain of yours to think of something other than nonsense.
