[Comrade]

Quote by: G. Adams What do we former imperialist bigots think about ourselves? That we have grown to a point where our pride isn't based on childish "my empires bigger than yours" name calling, and have instead based our pride in the knowledge that each and every person in our states can depend upon his fellow countrymen to look after them when times demand it. We take pride in knowing we have created civilised nations out of our barborous selves. Long may we continue to do so, rather than descend into rampant abuse of power we once epitomised, and the US does today.

This is sort of what I was talking about, Nunez, the patting oneself on the back for being more "moral" and "civilized" than the barbaric American cowboy as recourse from not being able to really affect anything other than themselves and, in France's case, its former colonies in north Africa.

America's "rampant abuse of power" has done more for the world in the last fifty years than all of Europe's "civilized" efforts put together.
