It is unlikely that the Scandinavian and western European states would have been able to build their peaceful, demilitarized, social welfare states in the absence of U.S. security guarantees during the Cold War and post-Cold War eras. While I will concede the legitimacy of many criticisms directed at current U.S. foreign policy, I think the big picture of American contributions to global peace over the LONG term are also relevant.

Still below most of the EU, though strangely above both Italy and France...I wonder what that's about. 109th for India, below Uganda, but above Pakistan. Rough. 21st for Spain, not too bad.
