The utter disregard and disrespect for all of those things that as Americans we are supposed to represent has served to empower those in power and weaken those who feel helpless in the face of terror. In the Administration’s blatant imperialistic hubris, we may still have a military advantage in weaponry and economic wealth. But in the battle to “win the hearts and minds” we have lost our stature in the world and our national esteem. Ironic, then, that in the process of fighting for peace, justice, and what is right, we are loosing all of it.
