[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2852408, member: 24302"] Hold your nose if you must, but the U.S. spent most of the last century competing with the U.S.S.R. for which economic system would reign supreme. That meant constant jockeying and meddling and outright war. A lot of innocent people got caught in the crossfire and yet 100's of millions if not billions are in a better place today because we came out ahead. It wasn't pretty, and it will ever hold us up to scrutiny by every Tom, Dick, and Harry who think they know better. Sitting here in a developing country I know the plusses the U.S. offers. But observing these folks for two weeks I can tell you our culture has lost plenty too. The U.S. was really the only country which could've stood up to the communists, warts and all. And it wouldn't be a better world if we hadn't. [/QUOTE]
