In this thread I've seen a lot of "America has a special purpose,
and therefore has become a special place...etc" here--so I'd suggest
that anyone who's internalized that take a look at Anders Stephanson's
_Manifest Destiny_--which really points out how the geography and
peculiar history of the US have produced this idea that we are the
end of history, the supreme nation, and the promise of God fulfilled
(or that we *should* be). And it's not too long or obscurely written.
Regardless of one's stance on the issue, it's a good read. Not
making a statement with this suggestion, just throwing it out there.
