There are other important aspect too:

USA is a symbol of the capitalism for all the World (or neo-liberal economics, liberal and consumer society; of course, reality in USA is a "little bit" different - there is a "liberal/neo-liberal fascism" according KSB and DVTR meaning), and Global Predictor has (maybe 150 years or so - see a K. Marx) an eminent interest to remove the global capitalism like a "cancer" of the World (because they know, the world resources are limited), to consolidate a proces of the globalization, and naturally to keep a monopoly of the global power for Global Predictor.
