"Graham Coxon has declared that he would like to see the US stripped of its global power and for the country to have &amp;quot;no importance in the world&amp;quot;. The former Blur guitarist, speaking in a new video alongside Pete Doherty for political/music organisation Instigate Debate, said that he wants the US to &amp;quot;start again&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;Part of me wants to kind of clear America like an old overgrown field that needs the stubble burning and start again,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;Just keep all the nice Americans somewhere while we do it. I think there&amp;#039;ll be a lot less oxygen being used, a lot less greenhouse gasses.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s my little dream fantasy, that they have no importance in the world, they&amp;#039;re not some sort of power, they think they&amp;#039;re policing the world, and we can actually get back to how it used to be when us and Persia were good mates.&amp;quot; Coxon and Doherty also discussed topics including corporations gaining increasing monopolies of the media. The Babyshambles frontman questioned why anyone would want to operate a vast media empire. &amp;quot;Why would anyone want to own all that? It&amp;#039;s a bit perverse,&amp;quot; he ventured. &amp;quot;Writing s**t about me and my house, saying I&amp;#039;ve got a smelly house. Which I do. It&amp;#039;s my business. Why don&amp;#039;t you use the money for some cleaners and solve the problem?&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Pete Doherty: &amp;#039;Prison system works&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
