When did it become our job to be father and mother to the whole freakin' world-- guaranteeing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone? We can't afford to do that in blood or treasure. Life sucks for some people-- like the people born into sh!tty families and neighborhoods in the US-- and, just as we ridicule Democrats who believe we have some obligation to make every downtrodden person into a man of wealth and taste, we should be ridiculed for believing we have some obligation to make every citizen of the world a man with rights to free expression and such and being free from fear. Because we can't, it doesn't make us not a superpower, it makes us not God. We should be able to manage with admitting that we aren't God.
