>> The US is accounts for much less of the percentage of total world economic power now than it did at the end of WW2. If you doubt this, I suppose I could dig up some links. I would guess that our percentage of world military power is also down, unless we're significantly more militarized than average. We are more militarized then most other countries. We have about 20% of the worlds gross production, and maybe 30 to 40% of the world's military power. Not to mention the fact that the other industrialized economies of the world were pretty much smashed flat at the end of the WWII -- France, Germany, Russia, Japan, etc. This creates a quite unrepresentative set of percentages.
