America a symbol. I was wondering if as you put it so nicely, people see the American dream happening to them personally or on a cultural, national or societal level?

After Vietnam, the dark and ominous shadow of America personified by the military-industrial complex has become the beast, which many love to fear and hate. As America is led more and more by politics of fear, Americans themselves lose sight of the inspiration America has provided. But I can say that when people know good Americans and have memorable associations, they can separate politics from other facets of life. Countries, cultures and empires progress through cycles, but the story remains for the rest to learn from.
