Obviously America has been having its 'fun' with being at war with various countries, yet it has never been attacked in a similar way

That happens when your on a much more unified landmass with many more countries.

We both have had our fair share of 'fun' with wars.
Just in different times.

Not sure how thats a bad thing, unless you consider many of these countries sometimes have extreme views and/or groups.

That requires that the other (producing) country has lower wages than yours and in effect a lower standard of living, development etc. Prime example is China, although they are catching up and in the end of that hypothetical development won't stoop to producing our crap anymore. It's not a sustainable system.

This is one of the fundamental flaws with Globalization: businesses always looking to cut costs and increase profit. You can't keep doing that forever - as you rightly point out it isn't a sustainable system.
