All other nations besides American and Russia had had enough war and destruction at the end of WW2, and let it go. The profit incentive here proved too addictive for those here that fattened their coffers in the global conflict. Every nation in the world knows this besides our own, it seems. In my half century on this planet, we have moved from one undeclared, criminal war to another, and Iran is next. It's pathetic and inexcusable, as well as the primary reason we're in such a state of decline.

So the US gaurenteeing regional stability in various theaters around the world has nothing to do with it? After ww2 human nature changed everywhere except here and the USSR?
That seems pretty simplistic neo.
