I believe that our country is the best government in the world. However, I had a huge problem when George Bush stating that he wanted to spread Democracy throughout the world and especially the Middle East. The reason our country works is because it is a government we created. It was not given to us, forced upon us or imposed on us. We made it. I found it arrogant of us to assume that everyone wants to be like us.
The genius of President-Elect Obama's message is that its founded on spreading hope. Hope is universal while democracy is not. If he can spread hope then fear, anger and terrorism can not survive. Where there is hope you can not grow fear. The potential of that message around the global is awe-inspiring.
