Many have come and gone, it's just the United State's turn to carry the sword at this time and place. No world power has ever had moral standing. The French didn't have it, The Brits didn't have it.. The list goes on and on. The only difference is now the evil deeds are broadcast around the world 5 mins after it happens.
