I think NO.  Let's reverse the question, should China take over the world. I think NOT.  The question is realy, should we impose our values and culture on other people.  Look at Iraq, which we supposedly attacked to support "democratic" reform.  It's been a botched job, from the get go.  Now lets take what has been a 3 year process, 280 billion spent, thousands dead and wounded( and I am not talking just US personell) and Iraq is only twice the size of Idaho.\n\nNow extend that a million times and ask the question again.

As the Youngest of the real countries we sort of had our choice and became the first Succesful Republic Democracy with A capaitalist monetary system and a Social conscience.  We give more money to the world then ALL Other countries combined and have the greatest Allies on the earth.  Perfect nope but we are heading there I would suggest you join us.

Your idea is great. I would love it. You can practically go anywhere in your own country !! Cool. Plus think of it, no cross border terrorism, no wars, no nothing. We wolud be living in a peaceful world. Most of the evils in this world are due to difference in any two countries. One is more developed then other this and that. Though your idea is pretty good, I am afraid that what you say beholds true! Indeed, Human greed for power and wealth will not make it possible in first place cause everyone in the political field today, atleast the president's of today's countries will want to be the supreme of this new country and there will be conflicts. And Secondly, even if it takes place, the developed will develop more while poor will become poorer as the competetio will increase far more than ever. That is a brilliant idea. But do no feel sad, you can still dream about it tonight because I know, I will. I definately will.\nSo Long. Keep thinkin of more of such ideas. Bye

China but not because of military reasons but they will soon control the entire world and I'm not sure where we will stand in it anymore, if we will be standing at all.\n\nThis is possibly the last chance we have to get our own economic machine running again but I believe we are on the verge of digging our own graves.

A very good question, which are rare on here, not only is it possible it is happening right now, and there is a concerted and concealed effort to do so, the bilderbergs for example have formed to do just that. They would argue that they are doing it with good intentions, but would not dispute that it is their goal.  What you are questioning is often called the New World Order, and its objective is to gain global rule so that they can address "global problems", such as population growth, war, and resource allocation. Now you have asked specifically is it possible for them to succeed, or anyone for that matter, they are just the present frontrunners. And the answer is very complex and the answer is both yes and no, so I will try to summarize my answer in brevity, but understand that i am not given enough room to thoroughly do so.  Yes they can militarily gain control of earth, and probably even crush any substantial rebellions, however when examining the subject in detail you have to look at the "what next", what will their policies be, and quite frankly they are self-destructive, so in gaining control they are really gaining the power which will destroy them. The problem (or mine rather) lies in the fact that countless individuals will die simply for resisiting being enslaved, myself included.  For these global conquerers are not a freedom loving bunch, hence why they believe themselves able to rule a planet full of people.  Now the question of whether individual freedom is right, is a different question entirely, and i certainly don't have the space for that, but I whole heartedly believe it is. And thus believe this to be a very bad thing. So you answer your question yes but at what cost and for how long? Permanently, no.

USA thinks they own the world

I would reservedly agree with you. I think it is human nature to want control and exploit...governments have the money and power to do so and they always want more of both.

No.\n\nThe US can do it to itself.

We should send a large army to N. Korea and do a blitzkrieg, this way before they realize what hapened, we would have conquered them, and they would no longer be a threat. And their people would be free  :)

i'll answer your question without going off on a tangent like some of the other morons who've already answered.  First, i wanna address that idiot "DarkStarInMyAsss":  You're right that your U.S. people have the rights to change/abolish your own government, and not the Yellows, but did you consider what YOUR U.S. People have been doing around the world? WHO made you guys THE BOSS of all other countries.  So basically, DarkStarInMyASSS, you're a frickin' HYPOCRITE who's literally confused in life.  Here's a dime, now go and contribute to help pay off your U.S.'s $6 Trillion debt to foreign countries (the majority of which idiots like you owe to China).\n\nNow, to answer the REAL question:  Would i mind if China invaded and occupy the U.S. ?  NO !!!  Maybe it's time for this country to have a taste of its own medicine, and see what it's like to be invaded by a foreign power.  But you know what?  If the invading country happens to be China, they're not going to do it through animalistic and barbarric brute force and strength like the so called "nice and benevolent" U.S. did to the Middle East (what a crock of BULL !!!), because China is a better country and people than the cocky U.S. people.  Instead, China will economically and peacefully buy up all the major businesses and corporations here, and will control everything financially, and I think that's the better way to do things rather than bombing people.  And the U.S. should get ready for a wake-up call too because it WILL happen pretty soon.  You can see it already:  Chinese, as a language, will be the global language in the upcomming century, and English will take second place.  There are just too many Chinese running the world right now.  Oh well, too bad.  Learn to live with it.

I don't think it is advisable nor feasible that one leader over the entire world would be a good idea. While perhaps someone to regulate the sovereign countries may seem smart in all essence you have to remember the human factor. Once you give someone that much power it becomes harder and harder to regulate them and keep corruption out of the top ranking offices. Capitalism started out helping America, but has quickly turned fascist, because the human factor was left out of the equation. A single person in charge of the world I fear would be inviting trouble. While I wouldn't even recommend a committee to be in charge of the entire world it makes more sense than one person.

Definite NO! If that were to happen, then freewill would be forfeited to that power. If one disagrees with that power, it could mean death for that person.\n\nThis is going to happen though, in the not-too-distant future. America is that Superpower. You've already witnessed what happened in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. Soon America's going to just overrule the UN Security council & do what she pleases with the world. I say overrule in the assumption that 1 or 2 countries may disagree with this but most of them will agree with being ruled by America.

I LIKE YOUR THINKING ...\n\n\nI think we should wish for world peace and nuttela

No, we certainly don't have the answers to improve the world. We need to start right here in our own country & elect better leaders & try to get America back on track. How are we going to build an Iraqu government when we can't even take care of our own problems?

Who is going to protect us when the time comes.Why do we as a country have to be the world police? We need to take care of our on stuff, it`s not like we don`t have any.

Oh yeah, That would be cool, all the english speaking people in one big area of the United Staetes and all the spanish in another small area, then all the other foreign speaking take up their own little areas.  Since all major corporations that run this country are english speaking.  There would be no problem. Since english speaking would take up so much room, we could suffocate the others right out of this country.  Good ideology.

We need to but out of the worlds business and take care of ours. The world has a police force called the United Nations let them handle it if there is a problem. If things come our way then yes we need to take action.I would say that if things don't come together the next 10 generations aren't going to have much of a world because some country wants to try and blow it up. Radiation isn't a pretty thing to see and can you imagine what the children would look like from the fall out of such a weapon of mass destruction. I am a very firm believer in protecting the HOME FRONT if thing happen, but lets not be the one to start it.
