All the hate-America types around the world (including those in the United States) ought to stop their rantings long enough to thank their lucky stars that it is America, and not some evil regime such as the Soviet Union, that wields this awesome dominence of power.The point is that they did not and cannot create it. It comes of the American genius, its political system, equality, liberty, and reverance for the individual. While other nations, now and in history, have built and used power, America alone did so in self defense.
