People don't take the world seriously enough.  We have had a general peace for 70 years.  That is unusual.  It is due to the US.  It won't last forever.  Nothing does.  History shows that.

I agree, but Pax Americana is unpopular now.  I am glad it existed when it did, even if we carried it out stupidly ... the Soviets and Chinese were even more stupid.  Personally, I think we should have ended Pax Americana around 2000, voluntarily.  But that we have to be defined by our enemies ... still holds on, so we created some more enemies.

"it is due to the us"
Have you just kind of ignored the military conflicts the us has been in?
The war in iraq alone has estimated death tolls as high as one million people.
