Ed,
As the pop classic says: "... put a little love in your heart./ And the world / will be a better place..."
I'm afraid too many people in high places take American exceptionalism to mean immunity from common sense, natural law, and karmic consequences. It's supposed to go the other way, with our government by the consent of a moral majority (a republic not an empire) enabling us to curb the appetites of the mighty.
