But there ARE a couple of countries who don't particularly care for US 
Leadership (even if we are always right...)

China, India, Japan, Venezuela, all the countries in the former USSR, 
nearly the entire Middle East and Africa....

Whoa. I guess that 'couple' turned out to be 'most' after all.

But other than those 4 or 5 billion people, yeah, I'd say we'd have the 
spam problem licked with just a few tough laws that we could bully a few 
NATO countries into adopting.
