The Greatest Experiment: The United States Of America, Juggernaut

RealClear Politics - Commentary of July 9, 2004 by T.C. Wrechard: "The truly terrifying thing about the American sword is that it is genuinely two-edged. The front edge consists of military power unparalleled in human history. Yet it is the weaker side; the back edge consists of a system with an an uncanny ability to absorb almost any sort of human, scientific and engineering potential and convert it into unimaginable wealth. The front edge is used but to ward; but it is the back edge that truly destroys rival societies. Osama Bin Laden struck New York first of all and the Pentagon only as a secondary target. The McDonald's hamburger is hated by the French elite more ardently than any Nazi SS division. Both fear the back edge more than the front."

Wow. Cool. True. Jesus. What hath we wrought? Will the greatest experiment fail?
