i'd say mission accomplished


i think we under-estimate the influence of america globally (love it or hate it)
and it's a responsibility to ensure that that influence always has good intentions
which is why its critically important to remain engaged in the political process
no one but americans can actually do that- act as a watchdog to the military and economic power - and ultimately foreign power/influence.
its why the rest of us actually watch the elections
we have a stake at this too
