Re: Americans will not allow (none / 0)
I kinda, sorta agree and disagree.  First, nations don't have dignity, people do.  Now, if you want to say that the current powers that be are showing a callous disregard for the dignity of other peoples, I'd completely agree.  And not to lessen that in any way, but it's not an "exceptional" trait of America.  I believe it's very common in situations where the leaders are abusing power.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
