Are you saying that al qaeda would love us if we had a better reputation in the world?? That the French would love us if we were richer?? Please back up these statements because right now they are just pure speculation.
Respect our power if we were richer (and more powerful).
As far as backup goes I can’t really support it because we haven’t seen it historically in US history. I don’t see how a richer and more powerful US could not be safer though. Can you without some sort of wierd hypothetical scenario?
