10 Great Things: What To Love About The United States
by Dinesh D'Souza
America is under attack as never before — not only from terrorists but also from people who provide a justification for terrorism. As an immigrant who has chosen to become an American citizen, I feel especially qualified to say what is special about America. Having grown up in a different society — in my case, Bombay, India — I am not only able to identify aspects of America that are invisible to the natives, but I am acutely conscious of the daily blessings that I enjoy in America. Here, then, is my list of the ten great things about America.
America provides an amazingly good life for the ordinary guy.
America offers more opportunity and social mobility than any other country.
Work and trade are respectable in America, which is not true elsewhere.
America has achieved greater social equality than any other society.
People live longer, fuller lives in America.
In America the destiny of the young is not given to them but created by them.
America has gone further than any other society in establishing equality of rights.
America has found a solution to the problem of religious and ethnic conflict that continues to divide and terrorize much of the world.
America has the kindest, gentlest foreign policy of any great power in world history.
America, the freest nation on earth, is also the most virtuous nation on earth.
