It depends strongly what G8 we have in mind. If democracy is they key
US hardly will manage to keep their seat against Swiss, Iceland or
Luxembourg. If G8 must be 8 more influential nations, there must be
China instead of Russia.


The USA - spots and all - can present quite a few successfull
democratisation endeavors to uphold their democratic credentials:
post-war Germany & Japan, post-communist Eastern Europe etc. While
Luxemburg keeps it's wealth and democracy just for itself.

And you actually think that the United States achieved all that by
themselves?

Interesting.

You know some country that did more ? I am all ears/eyes .

In the case of Germany, Britain and France did as much. As for Japan,
Britain and the Commonwealth (despite important military contributions
to Japan's defeat) were frozen out of the postwar occupation by
America.

As far as the dissolution of the Soviet empire is concerned, I think
that Kohl and Gorbachev made the running in that. America was nowhere.
As I recall, it was among the last to recognise the Baltic States.

Why don't you read some decent history books?
