A free world wouldn't have a "leader".

Yeah.   When people speak of a "free world" and talk about it having a leader, and, on top of that, the US president being that leader, it makes me cringe.  It just goes to show how indoctrinated people are.  War equals peace, and all that.  

Sometimes people refer to the US President as the leader, other times to the nation itself as the leader. Based on previous discussions we've had, you've said you'd like to see a world with minimal to no government, and you'd like to see the United States lead the charge. As the phrase has never meant ruler but rather leader, as in lead by example, this would mean that if the United States did what you wanted, it would become the leader of the free world. So I don't think you're opposed to the free world having a leader, or even the USA being that leader, or the concept of a free world, you just have a different concept of free and what leadership in that matter would look like.
