THE SECRET BEHIND AMERICA'S MIGHT

America has dumbfounded many a people around the world. Most people don’t see much of America beyond its proud citizens, wealth and prosperity and to some extent its alleged arrogance. The intelligent question to ask is ‘What is the root of these national characteristics that America is known for?’

If a country so rich, with all its citizens so comfortable, at least relative to the rest of the world, could put its riches and the lives of its citizens on the line to the extent of sacrificing the lives of over 2,500 of its citizens in Iraq for example, and still consider itself sane, there must be something fundamentally special to defend, let alone to die for. What is it that America sacrifices its wealth and the lives of its comfortable citizens for?

The Secret Behind America’s Might takes you on a path of discovery of what is so dear to the hearts of the American people that much of the world fails to understand, and in ignorance hates, and pardon me, likely the world’s most lovely and blessed people, the Americans. The writer presents in a somewhat humorous and intriguing way the fundamental ideas and a reason behind America’s might. Yours to enjoy.  TwCN.
