No, Little Hawk, the US is more like a puffed up Bobby on his beat. "Do everything exactly according to my instructions and surrender unconditionally to my will or I will run you in quicker than you can say 'Jack Robinson'." He may take himself too seriously, even use his nightstick too quickly, but he's nothing like a tiger. You really must try to learn the difference between the two. Some day you might encounter a real tiger and you know the story of the boy who cried "wolf!". (Forgive the mixed metaphors.)

Frankly, the US is not a threat to anyone right now, we haven't the military power to take on another adventure. And, however anyone abroad might view us, we're really rather the rest of the world went away and left us alone. Isn't that funny? We're can't be both isolationists and imperialists, now can we?
