"Cause you know, if we have the power to destroy the world 100 times over, we surely have the power to save the environment, feed billions, and end oppression worldwide." How about if you're 5% of the world's population, consuming 25% of it's output on borrowed money? What's the obligation then?

Ted, I can understand how the world will blame America for just about anything. Some of it is justified, some of it is lunacy, but all of it stems from their expectations of what the lone superpower in the world ought to be doing. Cause you know, if we have the power to destroy the world 100 times over, we surely have the power to save the environment, feed billions, and end oppression worldwide. You sound like the woman who complains all the time that people don't like her because they are jealous of her beauty. Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that she's vain, facile and condescending.
