playing on the arrogant attitude, cut down the population of america and any other non-third world country (germany, uk, france, japan, italy, etc) to the same size, give them both the same equipment and technology, and believe me, usa would not be kicking anyone's ass. that is if the arrogant attitude and in-fighting did not mean the usa's downfall before any combat actually took place.
granted, it would be unfair to see all americans thrown into one boat. but for those that believe the USA is some kind of mighty unstoppable superpower (aka "the BEST") - the funniest thing about that situation would be boasting about how great their land is, and speaking like they and their friends down at the burger joint are personally responsible for every success of their nation. yet they are VERY selective when something goes wrong.
WE won the basketball game. WE bombed them. WE did this. WE did that.
for example, bush does something with success. WE did it with great success!
yet, when something fucks up or bush says/does something stupid, the attitude changes to "HE is an idiot" or "HE failed to do it successfully".
arrogance what the average non-american sees when they look at the usa. and you can't comment on that, let alone understand it, until you can see it from the outsider's perspective - which you'll never be able to do, if you're american. it doesn't apply in all cases of course, and there is always an exception to the rule, but it seems (again, from an outsiders point of view) that there is some kind of inbred attitude going on in the states.
i for one would wonder how the average arrogant "i have an american flag in my garden" pro-american could believe that america is THE global superpower successfully capable of policing the rest of the world, when they can't even fight their own crime problems.
that is an outsiders view. if you don't like it... go fuck yourself. or come to live in another country and speak to enough people. they'll give similar opinions. maybe we could argue the toss all day and all night, but you can't change the facts, let alone dispute them unless you've lived outside of the country long enough to have developed a matured adult opinion similar to those around you. 6 months in london doesn't really count.

besides that: terrorists.
i hope they all die a painful death.

Funny -- your whole argument is (1) how people feel or (2) that without people or weapons the US would get their ass beat.
* News flash *
How people feel doesn't matter and there are the people and the weaponry.
So what now?
ever heard of penis envy?
