America, a Nation Struggling to Recapture its Identity, Purpose and Direction

I said it was a dream, didn't I? Maybe just a dream but does anyone seriously feel that these recommendations would not make America a far stronger, more secure, and stable nation? And that's the problem. We have to start shooting high for the seemingly impossible goals, not settling for the easy, politically popular results that get nothing of substance done.

Obviously, the chances of this scenario actually becoming a reality are slim to none unless this president and the Congress fully understand that America is approaching a point of no return. There is still a chance to take this nation in a new, positive direction if America's leaders stop investing taxpayer dollars on senseless wars and reinvest these funds in building America's future.

Yes, this is only a dream, a dream that America can somehow regain its identity and purpose by reactivating its dormant creativity and determination to end the nightmare that currently permeates our nation and our society.

As we know, sometimes dreams can come true.
