The problem with Kyoto is that it imposes crippling economic setbacks to the
US while offering minimal benefit. I wouldn’t support it either, not
because I’m arrogant and think that the US should be allowed to pollute as
much as it wants - but instead because it’s a raw deal with no measurable
benefit.

The “world against the USA” paranoia aside, your argument does have some merit.
That said, your post brings two points to mind:
- Bush should have renegotiated the treaty instead of ripping it up.
- How do you think we should protect the environment?

Capitalism seems ultimately to have been one of the best weapons against
communism.

I think you mean the former USSR. There is a strong argument which says that the
cold war was exacerbated by the need to keep the US’s wartime workers feeding
the capitalist machine. Search google for “McCarthyism”, “Bernays”,
“capitalism” and suchlike. The US may have been ruled by fear even back then!
