About the US military being capable to take on the entire world, yes it is a bit of a stretch, but consider, the US Navy and Airforce are completely unmatched.

Nah, it just take one nuke in an American city and its game over for the US Hegemony. The American economy is based on the consumer confidence, and if that confidence its lost you'll see a recesion worst than the one in 30's. Every Hegemon through out history have had its greatest weakness on his very greatest strengh, like the British and their colonial empire, or Rome and their professional Heavy Infantry Legions.
You see, the Arabs know this, and that's why I understand the Americans going to war with Iraq, though I don't actively support them.
There is a lot of intelligence going around that Saddam already have a couple stolen Russian nukes, and that its something that any American administration can't accept.
Bad thing for America that this corporate cowboy became president. I'm pretty confident that Al Gore would have fought Al Qaeda to the end instead of trying to get Irak and its oil.
