What if...

What if the US wasn't the nicest kid on the block? What if our nation wasn't so great? I know it is. Don't get me wrong. But what would it mean if it's actions weren't done with the best of intentions, but were done out of nefarious, insidious intentions? I agree with you, America is the greatest. But can't we contemplate the idea for a little bit that America is a bunch of well-meaning citizens led by an empirical government, bent on consuming all resources and power? It's not possible I know. There's no way this is reality. Not even close. I love America.

But can we just discuss the question: what if it's not as good as we believe?
