Yunxin, freedom!!! But freedom at what expense? What is John O'Sullivan saying about "certain" people in the United States, and beyond? Does our freedom, that of Americans, trump that of others?
jjMohamed29, good response, but try to stay within the text and not make assumptions (even if they do make sense, i.e., the U.S. "losing its place"). What in the text specifically speaks to this inequality you write about?
Tiny Tait, yes, America's divine right! America is chosen, by a power not of this earth, to lead the earth to greener pastures. I think the argument could be made that this is the belief behind the U.S's foreign policy... What a powerful document, no? Great response grounded in a textual analysis.
amin, yes, John O' Sullivan is speaking to the responsibility of the United States to establish democracy throughout the world. Isn't this what we see today in American foreign policy? What exactly do you mean about following the law? Expand your response!
