Bretton Woods still exists de jure. We still feel it is our responsibility to patrol the sea lanes. We still feel it is our responsibility to patrol Europe, AKA NATO. We thought it was our job to patrol the Far east, AKA SEATO, which led us to Vietnam. Out of the goodness of our hearts? UH huh, when pigs fly. We are 36 trillion in debt, thanks partly to the MIC and its riding the coat tails of Bretton Woods.

At least the Middle East is an effort to protect our access to oil.
