What would have been the consequences of United States inaction the past five decades. A Japanese Empire? A stronger USSR? The spread of communism? One third or more of the world's oil in Saddam's hands? A conquered Israel? Nukes in Saddam's hands? Interesting choices.

I object your honor!
Speculation!
I don't know what the world would be like if usa didn't act on these issues, do you?
It would be worse for us, but possibly better for some other country somewhere.
Maybe your grandparents would have gone from Italy to somewhere else ... maybe the people of germany would have eventually overthrown hitler!
maybe a giant monster would have risen from the sea and eaten all of the humans and none of us would have been born except a small tribe of eskimo's in alaska and the whole of civilisation would start again from hunting and gathering era.
If things weren't one way, they'd be another
