I agree with you here.
One point "Superiority is a little silly when you take it all into perspective, isn't it? "
I'm not sure if you're saying their superiority to the U.S or the other way around but I will say that if we don't try, in some way (not necessy militarily) to protect ourselves then we are at risk of others taking over us as we've taken over others in the past.
We are a great power but with the Bush adminstration pushing along the way it has we are being seen by others as trying to dominate the world. This has to stop. Great empires have fallen in the past and I don't want the U.S. to fall. We need to adapt and change our global stratagies to avoid being another USSR or Germany.
