Oh, the rest of the world, definitely. The White House is the one filled with people smart enough to say "Oh, the hell with this" and just start ignoring all the other nations that want to subjugate us.
This thread reminds me of the scene from the movie "The Wind and the Lion" where Teddy Roosevelt is discussing the bear he just killed on a camping trip. To paraphrase: "The U.S. is like the Grizzly bear... we are the master of the forrest... people may fear us ...they may respect us ...but, like the Grizzly, we live our lives alone and the rest of the world will never love us."
