I couldn't agree more - countries are essentially artificial constructs anyway. This is being shown to be more and more true in todays globalised world. Ultimately boundaries of race are simply used to divide people into smaller and smaller groups to allow them to be squashed that bit more easily. With regards to the US they are a Superpower in that the US political system is the voice of the most powerful economic groups on the planet. But the real Superpower is that conglomerate of capital that props it up globally. Even that Empire will end one day though - if you look at Adam Smith all the way through to Karl Marx they will all say "nothing lasts forever".
By the way I actually agree with Ronn on this topic. The US is not openly malevolent but it does put its interest above others. I think me and Ronn will probably disagree on whether that is a good thing or not....
