Truth.

I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

- We can all understand the attraction in seeing the US get its comeuppance but the death throes of the US would likely be quite unpleasant.
  If the US could somehow transform into a more enlightened member of the international community, we'd all be much better off. Barring that, even a return to it's prior position as self-appointed world police would likely be less destructive than an actual collapse.
  
  Not too mention that if he's taken out violently (assuming not as part of a greater revolution) then the result would likely make the post-911 response look cute.
- Wishing harm on others is abhorrent behavior. The downfall of any nation causes so much harm and grief to countless innocent humans well beyond the borders of one nation.
  
  What would you do if on the way down somebody got the codes to the nukes and happened to hit the big red button?
  I mean it's a dumb question, because the world would be over. We'd all die.
  Failing the immediate catastrophe... you never know how many might go missing, or where they would turn up again or exactly how they would be used. Someone could load a few on a boat and build something that is usable without codes. People have been worrying about dirty bombs for so long.
  It's easy to hate others. It's easy to point the finger. A minority of people benefit from the policies that are used to hurt others. A majority of people are hurt by hatred just like yours. If you're not better than them, you're the same or just worse.
  I will say a great amount of highly educated liberal people are in coastal cities of the US that would find attacking whatever nation you find yourself in abhorrent, but i'm sure you'd love to get your hands on them for whatever perceived grudge you have against people who have had no say, have taken no negative action towards you or frankly anybody. Hate is what immature, small men use because they can't figure their way out of the problem they have.
