These "attributes" eventually come back to haunt the society that adopts them, but no, America is the perfect country, and never makes mistakes. The United States is misguided, blind, stupid, surly, and absurd. It's paying a price now and it's going to pay a higher price for this war in whatever fragmented future it has.

They're responsible for the destruction of Iraq. It IS what wars do. This one is no different. America doesn't need to get out now. That late date was yesterday. But no, no, no. The United States will blunder on stumbling through death like it always does. It has one vision. One message. Sets one example. Death. Power. Death. Power. Death. Power. And death.
