Then we wonder why so many people feel so threatened by the US.
If they feel threatened, it's because their own leaders are biting off more than they can chew. Perhaps
they should show a little appreciation for our benevolence and relatively few excesses when you consider what many of them would do with such power. Look how Chirac thinks
he's the leader of the free world, when in reality he's just a blowhard who's true power measures only slightly higher than total irrelevance. Imagine how drunk with power that fool would be if his position afforded him the power of the U.S. Presidency.
And Germany is going to play arbiter of the human rights to the world? Really? Had Germany been blessed with the resources of the United States, would the world be better or worse? Perhaps in an ideal world, the U.S. is a merciless bruteĀ
but in the real world, they are probably the kindest, fairest Alpha we could reasonably hope for.
