Nope.  Being number one in the world is in reality a real pain in the ass... and most people in the US would perfer to NOT be the number 1 country in the wolrd... but only hang on because the big competitor is the undemocratic Chinese.

We've long passed the age of stuff like the British Empire where being number 1 particularly benefited you in anyway.  If anything it just makes you a target now a days and you have to always be ahead and donate the most to other countries, you have to keep your tarfiffs and shit down... (i mean look at the levels of protectionism the EU gets away with vs the US.  We can't even consider a VAT of a couple percent without other nations getting pissy.)

You know who has it right?  Canada.  They just get to sit back, not be involved in practically anything, yet reap the benefits of western dominance.  Or like, Lictehnstein.  They don't even have an army I don't think.

I wouldn't mind living in Canada.  Except for all the snow.

Why don't you move to Europe? (LOL) Though the really good states are also the ones up north. And you'd have to learn weird viking languages too.
