Indeed, there is a unique American mission in the world today. I will call it Project Apocalypse; the unique and controversial agenda to make America and then world a fascist fantasy land. Fascism can be defined as a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

The injustices of American power, let me count the ways...Slavery started with Babylon, the initial civilization, then went on to Egypt and then Israel. Imperialistic colonization soon followed.

After all, it is written in our constitution that we have the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now, in our little fairy tale, all are free from being someone else's property, we all work in reasonable conditions with reasonable reimbursement for our labor, and we all have the right to vote.
