Classic “never believe your own propaganda” quote from a NY Times opinion piece:
“We are not the most powerful nation in the world because of our aircraft carriers, our economy, or our seat at the United Nations Security Council. We are the most powerful nation in the world because we try to be the good guys. We are the most powerful nation in the world because our ideals of universal freedom and equality have been backed up by our belief that we were champions of justice, the protectors of the less fortunate.”
Yeeah.. I think it probably has something to do with the carriers and the economy too.
