I think it's unlikely that there'll ever be any serious protests in America, even if something worse happens. They'll be too scared of the "threat of terrorists", which the government will probably just love.
Also, "The Land of the midnight sun" sounds pretty damn cool. I don't think I've heard it before. There's also truth to it.
I think time will take care of America anyway, so I don't see why anyone would bother. Much more impressive superpowers didn't stand the test of time (Rome for example). Hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later though.

I'm pretty sure many of us don't want your "protection", or anything close to it. We had to protest when the piracy acts were being made, because one was almost forced on us, which is something that came from you. >_> We haven't been in a war since 1814, which is almost twohundred years by now.Kolby Jack said:And I have nothing against Sweden (I am of Swedish heritage, myself) but it's not really fair to compare it to America. Sweden is a fine country, but let's be fair here: it's small, less populous, and it has few enemies. America is a superpower, and the only one in the world by many accounts. We have many people looking to knock us down a peg or two, a very large military force which is large not only to defend us but also to provide hefty support to our less militarily capable allies (like Sweden), and a combination of a huge landmass and equally impressive population to keep track of. I'm not saying these are excuses for shifty dealings, but certain considerations have to made to keep us as secure as we've become accustomed to.
