It is also well and good to remember that we are on the receiving end of a wonderful tradition that fought for hundreds, if not thousands, of years to free mankind: from fear, from want, and to become every great thing the world has ever seen. I believe Bob Dole put his finger rather precisely on this point a few years ago:
"Long before there was an American Dream, there was a dream that was America."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
