Wrong, Military:The US has the most powerful and widespread military, but not the largest. WWI was not an attempt at world dominace, it was over trade routes and the assassination of the Kaiser.

Right, Politics

Wrong, Wealth: How do you define the wealthiest? The US has neither the highest per capita income nor the highest standard of living. If you mean that the Federal Govt. has financial resources beyond the means of any other country then you're right, but being that you referred to it as if on a per capita scale "a lifestyle others never dreamed of", I can only assume you are talking about per capita wealth and/or standard of living, which it barely makes the top 10. As far as building back countries that intended our destruction you have to understand that whenever a nation is defeated or intimidated by the US, or there is a power struggle, that is an opportunity for the US to put a pro-US person in power, and what better way to help "ourselves" than to rebuild a powerful nation, and place someone that likes the US in power to do our bidding. As far as financial ease of the American lifestyle, I have no idea what you're talking about. If I didn't work, I'd be homeless, starve to death, and live under a bridge until I did so. Our social security system is worthless compared to the programs of other, even less fortunate nations.

In any case, your post asked what I thought it should be. Be like Iceland, problems solved.
