          There’s a difference between being a good country and being a global force for good. In helping to defeat the Nazis, the U.S. was a global force for good regardless of what else they did, had done or will do. The same with Stalinist Russia.

        Should I remind you of the land the USA originally had and what they did to the people who lived in the lands they conquered?
