I was not the one saying there should be a pacific rim series or IRL should abondon the states. In fact I said they need to keep their roots in the US but why let Canada, Mexico City, Australia and Japan not in on the party? They have money - money the other race series growing like a weed across the USA hasn't tapped into yet. Money and sponsers that a rebudding series like Indy Car can use to grow.
Why wouldn't you want that?
One thing the rest of the world hates is America's greater than thow attitude and an all American series is exactly the thing they won't touch. However, a globally open series, even if it is still strongly rooted in America, is something they will eat - they have before; it was called CART.
Plus, while America does love to love itself it also loves to show off for the world. If F1 was owned and operated from and by a majority of American owners and teams you can bet we would be watching.
