"We cannot escape our destiny, nor should we try to do so. The leadership of the free world was thrust upon us two centuries ago in that little hall of Philadelphia. In the days following World War II, when the economic strength and power of America was all that stood between the world and the return to the dark ages, Pope Pius XII said, 'The American people have a great genius for splendid and unselfish actions. Into the hands of America God has placed the destinies of an afflicted mankind.' We are indeed, and we are today, the last best hope of man on earth." --Ronald Reagan

So true is this statement. That is why, Al, so many countries, politicians, intellectuals, elites, etc. from around the world despise the US so much. Much of it involves envy, jealousy.
My fear is that - the way things have gone since Obama - the good Lord may revoke that special mission conferred on your country. I certainly hope not.
