...and there was a lot of discussion, back then, about whether folks in the Middle East were ready for American-style democracy.
These days, I'm not sure America is capable of American-style democracy.
Anyway, a lot of RNC talk this week about how we're the greatest, most exceptional nation in the world -- and yeah, some good things have happened here. But the chest-thumping is straining and tedious, particularly during a deadly pandemic we can't seem to control, and a way to drown out the sound of people asking for help. I'm worn out by the constant need to assert American greatness. Would love it if we tried a little harder for American goodness.
