The U.S. needs to start closing foreign military bases and drastically reduce its spending on the military. The U.S. needs to pursue an agenda of a world without war and a world without nuclear bombs.

The world does not need an Empire to keep the peace. It needs international laws that are followed, respected, obeyed and enforced. It can start doing that by bringing war criminals to justice. [Must See: Bringing U.S. Torture Team Justice ]

The U.S. needs to stop acting unilaterally in the 21st century. It needs to take its legitimate concerns to the United Nations. It needs to work on strengthening world organizations that follow international laws. The U.S. needs to set an example of abiding by the Geneva Conventions, treaties, ending its torture, ending wars of aggression and show respect for human rights.

The U.S. needs to stop listening to the Neocons who say that the U.S. is the one indispensable nation and exceptional from all other nations.

Tell the Neocons: "You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th-century fashion".
