We're losing the peace

"Friend and foe alike, look you accusingly in the face and tell you how bitterly they are disappointed in you as an American." & ". . . some also blame America because they expected so much more from her".

Sobering quotes and these articles really give you pause for thought about the problems a country, even a powerful one like the US, has when they end up in charge of peoples and cultures they don't really understand. Of course, the most heartening aspect of these quotes is that they are both from Life, January 1946.
