>>>What is it that you want of us? To tear our hair and beat our breasts over it? I think Steven expects us to realize our inner racist, and do penance. That's a cheap shot, but the fact that we aren't capable of fixing these things as the "superpower" that both triumphant neocons and our long time socialist enemies make us out to be is a real problem. It's not that "absolute power corrupts" in the sense of unleashing evil, as if that is the only source of evil in the world. That's just the tired old rap that demonizes the US simply because we've been successful. It is that "absolute power" makes one stupid.
