The U.S. Vs. World Peace

I had to laugh when I read this.  As if anyone on this globe thinks of America as “the world’s leading champion of peace.”

Iran, Saudi Arabia/Yemen, Israel/Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq.

Every year a survey is conducted of thousands of people around the world,  asking them to name the country that represents the greatest threat to peace in the world, and every year the results are roughly the same.  This year, the U.S. was the overwhelming choice (24% of respondents). This was followed by Pakistan (8%), China (6%), North Korea, Israel and Iran (5%).

To be fair, Jimmy Carter actually is a man of peace.  In fact, his term in office represented four of a total of 16 years in the entirety of U.S. history during which the country wasn’t at war.
