The US has been voted as the most significant threat to world peace in a survey across 68 different countries. Anti-American sentiment was not only recorded in antagonistic countries, but also in many allied NATO partners like Turkey and Greece.

A global survey conducted by the Worldwide Independent Network and Gallup at the end of 2013 revealed strong animosity towards the US’s role as the world’s policeman. Citizens across over 60 nations were asked: “Which country do you think is the greatest threat to peace in the world today?”

The US topped the list, with 24 percent of people believing America to be the biggest danger to peace. Pakistan came second, with 8 percent of the vote and was closely followed by China with 6 percent. Afghanistan, Iran, Israel and North Korea came in joint fourth place with 5 percent of the vote.

We need to change our role of Police to the World. WWII was the last time we fought a real war. Since then, we've just been bullies, crushing third world countries so we could take what we want form them.

Not to mention that we're spending way too much on "defense" when its not really for defense at all.

Some of the money we send other countries really does benefit us but a lot doesn't. We could ring home troops, put them to work rebuilding our country.

I'm grateful to President Obama for ending the Iraq fiasco but he needs to bring troops home from Afghanistan now. Screw the Repub war profiteers. Let them figure out how to make money from waging peace.
