Is America's dominance good for Africa or the world?

Question

The demise of the Soviet Union, and the dominance of the U.S.A, in military terms, does not seem to have produced a stable world, or a "peace dividend". If the "West" were to succeed in installing representative democracy, and a liberal capitalist economic regime, throughout the world, could we expect a better life for the world's citizens.

Answer 1

Better the dominance of the USA than any other country.

Answer 2

I don't think it's good for any country to be dominant over another.  Although sometimes it happens naturally because a county may be wealthier than the other and have more resources e.t.c.  The problem is how many people or government's do you know that aren't corrupt?  Other countries don't want to be ruled over by another. They want to govern themselves and have help when it's needed.  To have good allies.  Still, there is always going to be someone who isn't content with the way things are regardless.

Answer 3

I think America as a equal partner is good  for Africa but to dominate other countries and try an Americanize them is not a smart idea.Every thing America is not God sent.

Answer 4

Bush is just another terrorist! USA, because it is a super power does just what it wants. USA is hated in Africa because of it's selectiveness to intervene in wars and conflict. take Zimbabwe for instance. It would have been flattened by now if it had oil. Sadly it doesn't have thus Mugabe still gives Bush, Brown and the rest of the world the middle finger and the road to h**l is paved with good men doing nothing! Africa should be left alone to sort out it's own problems. How else will they learn to stop acting like savages?

Answer 5

America dominance is coming to an end. When I sell my goods overseas I prefer lately to be paid in Euros and not Dollars. The Dollar is up and down all the time. The euro is more stable.

Answer 6

If they installed a liberal government anywhere they would just end up giving it back to the blacks to fk up once it was running properly again.

To have peace in the world we must prepare for war.

Answer 7

I think so. If they pulled out every where Africa would go up in smoke. They contribute alot to the World Food Program.

Answer 8

You'd think so, but some places just don't want that.

Cases in point: The rise of radical Islam or that odd blend that is Chinese Communism. Of course the former Soviet Union is starting to act like Germany after WWI, too.

Answer 9

In the Western world, democracy does work.  Unfortunately, it is not meant for the African countries.  The majority of people here need a strong leader that tells them what to do.
