The US still rules the world? What kind of traitor are you to this republic that prays for American empire over America republic? America is (or should be) a leading light of example to the world not its overlord.
Respectfully we may not "rule" but we definitly lead whether we like it or not. (see GWBush's change from not nation building to having made two so far)
I do also believe it keeps the dollar's place as the world's reserve currency safe for a while.
I see attacking the dollar's place as a world currency as the next step for trying to prop up the EU's legitimacy.
The USA rules the world on all levels, economy, technology and science, military, and culture.
The USA rules the world because we are good and we believe in GOD.
The USA is the most powerful nation in history of man, period.
America is EMPIRE!! We do rule the world. Why do we have all those carriers, all those Marines floating, ready to attack at a moment's notice, all those nukes??!! To rule the world!!!! And we do. And the frogs rule squat. You need a class on current events.
