Perhaps Gene Roddenberryâs (Star Trek) vision of the future will come true, but not today... Madeleine Albrightâs State Department left a legacy assuming itâs the 24th Century. Global dominance IS moral superiority. Americaâs moral superiority is being questioned because Americaâs global dominance is being questioned. Itâs being questioned because of the rise of China, et al, and our enemies' sensitivity to Americaâs waning institutional will to aggressively protect its own interests like it did in the past. Bush goes against the grain with Iraq, and the One Global Nation people poop in their pants.
The might makes right argument. So, if the USA was conquered by a superior force, they would be right to do so. What a primitive, provincial, and ultimately uncivilized rationalization.
