Planning on keeping a New Year’s resolution? Well, plan on keeping your mind first. While many Americans spend their lives trying to fulfill the American dream, there are millions of people around the world who just dream of becoming an American. Even with its many flaws, the United States is still considered to be the “land of the free and the home of the brave” by multitudes. What keeps America viewed as a beacon of hope to countless immigrants throughout the world is not simply its way of life, but it is the fact that the USA remains the world’s greatest superpower. Ironically, the thing that causes our nation to experience freedom from war within its shores is its ability to wage war against its enemies with its weapons of mass destruction.
