We all want our country to be dominant to an extent.
How we handle the moral boundaries is the real defining factor on who we are as a people.

I view things quite the opposite.
I believe a man is defined by how he treats others outside of his tribe or sphere of concern.
How can you respect a person that brags about and justifies being immoral?

We don't have to fight wars to be dominant, and any person that thinks otherwise knows little of economics.

The Mexican War can only be justified if the people of Texas felt that they were truly being oppressed and that our involvement liberated them from such.
