Re: Independence Day - United States
They were able to wage a war is testament to the liberties they enjoy. The 2nd amendment is still alive and well.
As for the militaristic bully, are you going to hold it against the US that they do what they do to protect their interests? Every nation in every age has done it.
PS: The core principle of US foreign policy is self-interest. Not justice. Once you start thinking about it in those terms, a lot of what they do will make sense. We all would like it to be justice, but it just isnt.
