The one really good reason why non-Americans should concern themselves with US politics and the sociology that surrounds it, is that America has most of the best nuclear toys, and the guy (or gal) in the White House has the ultimate say in whether these things are fired or not ... and spare the argument about safeguards and security measures; "unsinkable" didn't keep the Titanic afloat. I don't think that personal faith should be an issue when the future of the planet is at stake. I wouldn't trust the bomb in the hands of extreme Islam, why should I trust it in the hands of extreme Christianity?
