We the People # 86

"We must ask ourselves humbly - in looking back at the American century have we acted wisely and humanely in our relations to the rest of the world; a world in which the richest few hundred or thousand or couple thousand have more wealth than the poorest 3 billion. Have we been right to police the globe? Have we been a force for good, for understanding, for peace? We must look in the mirror. Have we perhaps in our self-love become the angels of our own despair? The bomb has allowed us to win by any means necessary, which makes us, because we win, right; and because we are right we are therefore good."
