So the lesser beasts come after the lion king. The hyenas like China, Russia, France, Germany, and possibly even good ol' Britain, look for any opportunity to upstage America, or at least to make things more "interesting" (in the Chinese sense, of course). The jackals in the wings, typified by Iran, hang back but stay alert for any flesh the hyenas overlook. And the vultures circle patiently until the feeding frenzy tapers off, when the likes of Syria, North Korea, and other terrorist organizations try to pick off whatever morsels remain.
The liberal fascists don't get it. Once you become king of the hill, you can no longer blend into the woodwork. There is no possibility of lowering your profile, relinquishing your duties (such as policing the world), because the international jungle feeds on machismo, and that is a zero-sum game. If you got it, you might as well flaunt it; everyone knows you got it, and everyone else wants some. Try reasoning with mad dogs? It's been tried many times. It's never succeeded. The dingos want what you have. What part of envy don't you understand?
