The problem in the USA, Ryan, is that at no time I know of in history has the Gov't turned their back on their own country in favor of needing to police the rest of the world, or more accuratly, making sure nobody else can take advantage of mistakes the US has made with their currency and energy needs. There is a distinct feeling that we are perched on the edge, and the blatent ignorance of it's own citizens is proof of how desperate the situation is. But it's the citizens that have unwittenly sown the seeds of this by their ridiculous and unsustainable comsumption and debt load. The US Gov't position is that this orgy must be maintained.

And on the other comment above - the term "US Production" is an oxymoron. Last figures I saw showed the US economy to be 87% service oriented and quickly rising - not much manufacturing going on, and that will really change fast when Detroit dies and Walmart forces more companies out of business.
