Don't be stupid, Why would America want to control the world, they can't even control their own country. America is a business and the Americans are just protecting their business assets. Who the hell is America anyway? Do they want political control, not with two opposing political parties fighting for supremacy every few years. Do they want religious control, not with over a thousand religious factions in the USA. Do they want world economic control, Aw come on! If you knew anything about economics you would realise that the problems trying to implement that would cost more than the benefits. Stop letting irrational Muslim thinking mess with your head and examine the reasons why America would want to control the world and the problems that would bring and you will see that it's just propaganda. I don't particularly like Americans but, control the wold? Not this side of Armageddon.

Virtually every dynasty or empire in recorded BC sought to control the word, as they knew it. You could name 100s of civilizations that tried to control the world. And I hate to tell you, but they were typically extremely bloody. The Romans, the Ming Dynasty, and the Achmaenid Dynasty, are some you've probably heard of. They were pretty successful too. Those empires with the most sophisticated societies, and the manpower, where the ones who succeeded the longest. Overall, it was generally good for the development of man, though some may disagree. The USA isn't trying to control the world: it's trying to shape it, so that mankind can prosper (though of course, it's main concern is the preservation of its way of life). If the US wanted to control the world, as in the times of the Ming Dynasty, it could easily use military force (read special weapons), to wipe out any opposition. So don't ever confuse shaping, or molding the world, with control of the world.
