"Most U.S. citizens are unaware that the effect of U.S. power abroad has nothing to do with the "values" celebrated at home, and indeed often serves to deprive people in other countries of the opportunity to attempt to enjoy them should they care to do so."

Powerful. An excellent and short document that puts into perspective American might. Although point #2 is a bit weak in that it makes assertions that some might be uncomfortable with this document speaks for itself in it's clear thinking and outspoken message. I urge you to read it and think about what you can do to take action.
