What defines the Americans immovable conviction that extra-juridical detention of foreigners and generous funding for colored revolts against legitimate authority constitute an action on behalf of Good, while any attempt to counter this pressure is interpreted as Evil incarnate? How did it come about that both republicans and democrats share the idea that the world consists of potential Americans who were simply not lucky enough to be born in the USA? What gives the Americans that feeling of absolute righteousness in their aspiration to enforce upon everyone else there own perception of what is reasonable and fair? Why, basing their judgment on the concept of their own infallibility, do the Americans regard as self-evident truth that which we perceive as a blatant application of double standards? When President Bush is certain that unleashing war on Iraq was commanded to him by God, what basis does that claim have? You will find the answers to all these questions in Veronica Krashennikovas book.      ,         . -    -    .
