I would probably partially disappoint American journalists since I believe that the greatest threat to world peace as of now is radical Islamic groups.
But America is easily the second greatest threat, because I can't miss the fact that America is quick at defining someone an enemy and solving the problem with this enemy by military force. Sometimes it looks like scenes from movies about superheros: you always know that Americans are good guys, and somewhere in the world there are good guys who need support, and bad guys who need to be eliminated. Reality is different, but who cares about the reality in the world of motion pictures? To my relief, Obama understands reality a lot better than a stereotypical McCain and is not so happy to send troops and air carriers to assist "good guys" against "bad guys".
But there is still a risk of having another McCain who didn't have enough military games when he was young. That's why the threat exists.
And yet, if I had to choose between America ruling the world and Saudi Arabia ruling the world, I would support America with no doubt.
