Why, Precisely, is America so Great?

By Herbert E. Meyer

The one thing that President Obama and all the GOP contenders for his job agree about is that America is the greatest country in the world.  They all use this line in every speech they make, and it always brings the crowd cheering to its feet.  But none of these politicians ever quite gets around to explaining precisely why we're the world's greatest country.  That's too bad, because it's a serious question that deserves a serious answer -- right now, before Republicans choose their candidate and before the voters make their choice in November.
