“America is powerful and dominant, both for the better and for the worse. America influences, inspires, and enrages a myriad of people and governments. America has the potential to guide the world towards a sustainable future, where equality, justice, and environmental health are maximized. America also has the potential to further divide the peoples of the world and create a global tension that will inhibit teamwork. At this critical moment, America has begun to move down the divisive path. Hopefully the consequences of this path will be recognized by the new Congress. The forces of globalization and environmental degradation are too great to be ignored and a global and unified perspective is needed in order to deal with them effectively.”
