Apart from being fed up to the back teeth with them, it strikes me that, since the USA has such a huge reach globally, for good and for ill, that other nations should also have a vote. I wish to cast a vote!

After all, "no taxation without representation" has a certain ring to it, and the USA has managed to screw up the world financial markets single handedly!

The world view on the USA is, pretty much, that it is a laughing stock right now. A shame for what was once a great nation run by statesmen.
