A countries power over its people is a derivative of its ability to offer security to those people. This has been the case since the dawn of civilization, people flock to areas (good or bad) that offer them a level of protection against the other areas. In this case the USA offers substantial military security. Is this right or wrong, who am I to say however through out history the strongest military power always reigns.
