It wouldn't take 20 minutes, or even 20 days, but within a few years the amount of conflicts breaking out would be pretty bad IMHO.
If it wasn't for the fact that our economy is so intertwined with the rest of the world, I would love to see the US pull out all aid to the rest of the world, all military presence, etc.... and just let everybody stew in their own juices.
Unfortunately, we can't do that. We are too dependant on the rest of the world's economies staying somewhat stable.
