Well, I guess that lots of countries are willing to donate money and equipment to US for building whatever is nessecary to knock out an asteroid.
Actually, such donations should make US gratefull to those donators
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

"Anyway, I suggest the US redirect chunks of the metior to destroy the cities of countries in which there is stuff we want. These cities would have been destroyed anyway, so no big deal. Then, all the ingrates will be dead, as they would have been anyway, and we, the US, can get what we need."
Briliant!

Narcissist.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I can just see President Bush giving our sympathy to the world.
"We deeply regret that in saving the world from certain destruction we were unable to save Iran, North Korea, Syria, Saudi Arabia, China's industrial areas, and some other countries I can't pronounce. My particular condolances go out to France, for the loss of their lovely capitol, Paris.
I'm going to soo miss Paris.

NO.
And I bet you your gratitude would be short lived.If you don't like reality, change it! me

I hate to say it, but the above answer is about right.Originally posted by BeBro
Haven't read all answers, but I think the US would have no success in "puppetrizing the world" because
- some people wouldn't believe there was a real danger at all
- some people would say the US created the meteorit (or at last changed its course so that it could hit the Earth) to play savior, and to win political capital from it
- some would say they didn't care about the world when acting, only about the US
- some would also say it was all due to the evil US/EU/Russian/Chinese/Jewish/black/white/communist/capitalist/whatever conspiracy, but that doesn't have anything to with the original question. We also would have lots of Poly threads about it.
So in other words nothing would be substantially different from the situation today.Comment
