re: Maybe. But what would contain the religious fanaticism then?

I don't buy the connection.

On the other hand, I used to believe in the US becoming the ultimate benevolent super power. But the "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" thing was right, more true than the US self image, than all our supposed good intentions.

That's the huge disappointment... that's where you give up all hope. I'm not sure why you or I or any of us bother to try... just let it play out and live our lives as best we can. Why bother?
