I am sick and tired of people who still think that the United States of America is still a world leader. It fosters an image of a country that has endless riches and opportunities when it is the opposite. The Statue of Liberty still beckons people to come but others inside the country complain about how "immigrants take jobs away".

The only solution for the United States of America to do before it arrives at a point of no return is to look at itself. The United States of America should think about itself instead of trying to save a world that may not want it. The internal self criticism would be better with the following resolutions.

The United States of America should withdraw from the Middle East including Iraq and Afghanistan. The people who say that this will encourage people to bomb the country is a ridiculous one. The United States of America can no longer maintain a presence in the Middle East and those who are obsessed with the Middle East should go there and resolve it. The money that is used in the Middle East can be used for education, highways, and resolving the current crisis instead of propping people who do not thank you.

The United States of America should also sit down with the two Korea's, Russia, China, and Japan with the following announcement. The announcement should be that the United States of America can no longer afford to maintain troops along the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Korea's. This commitment is already putting a strain on the United States of America.

The commitment from the United States of America to Korea has also been met with resistance in that country.

The United States of America should also withdraw from ALL international organizations such as the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is another waste of money and is a violation of the national sovereignty of the country.

The United States of America should no longer be a leader since its society has become a decadent wasteland in which elderly are disposed of, the divorce rate is higher, baby killing is legal, and where people talk trivial nonsense such as sex 24 hours a day. The society that is imperative in America even promotes Jerry Springer and others who tear up the family. If this is the society that America wants to be, it should not be a world power.

At least Russia, China, and Iran are talking about a higher authority and have acquired a higher moral ground by using their money wisely for projects that will help their societies. The best thing that could happen to America is to get out of the world politics business.
