The guy in the white hat wearing shiny star badge is the good guy...the guy wearing the black top hot and twirling his long handlebar mustache is the bad guy.

'Good Guy' of course, is pretty relative. If you're a patriotic American, you probably prefer to see your beloved country as the Good Guy.
'The Moral Authority for the World,' OTOH, is an unsuportable and certainly false claim. Understand, though, that without that false claim, the US is simply a nation persuing it's own legitimate interests, not a global policeman, and certainly not cuplable for all the evils in the world. If you reject the claim that the US is the ultimate global authority, then you have to aproach world events as a complex interraction of cultures and nations, each with thier own interests, and none with the power to simply snap thier collective fingers and create a Utopia. A nation that isn't an ultimate moral authority, for instance, can be expected to exercise pragmatism more than idealism.

The moral authority for the world is only representative of those that say they do not have any of the normal traits of the human species and are able to keep all of the trash, TRUTH, locked securly in the closet. Remember, even the president was given blessing in the oral oops, oval office.

I live in the USA and I really don't care if we are a "moral" authority or not.
What I do care about is that we have nuclear-capable weapons systems ready for use against anyone at a moments notice.
You can have your precious "moral" authority. mmmm kay?

I don't support false claim's. If you don't like the United States of America...Do us all a favor...please feel free to leave.If you can find a better place...like one of the socialist countries that you love....please take up residence there.

IMHO good guys would talk, negotiate, empathize and compromise more and kill less.
