America...something to be proud of

Why are so many American political leaders so quick to reach for the
time-worn phrase..."to show the world"whenever our nations motives
are questioned.

Hasn't our nation done enough?

We have our military stationed around the world, providing international
stability and defense of our Allies. Yet, we are called 'imperialists'.

We are the first responder no matter the emergency, natural or aggression.

When earthquakes hit, we are there.
When Kuwait was attacked we were there.
When we were instrumental in creating the United Nations.
Or creating NATO to defend Europe from Soviet Union in advancing further than Eastern Block.
Or our ensuring the balance of power in the Middle East was maintained.
