Are you kidding? No way. And even if it tried, just look at the problems we had running Iraq after we conquered and occupied it. Now multiply those troubles by about 1 million. Nationalism and pride in one's country don't only exist in the U.S. The people in the other countries we are trying to rule would resent us BIG-TIME. Take for example, the problems the U.S. had in the Philippines after we took possession of them from Spain. So no, the U.S. can't conquer the world and it should not even try to. It would turn us into the most hated country since the days of Nazi Germany. For every aggressive action, there is always a reaction.
