These other countries that eventually see uprisings that result in the ouster of the ruling dynasty....they all share something in common: they don't operate in a way that best reflects true human nature. Humans are meant to be free, to decide their fate for themselves. You can only keep that spirit under wraps for so long. America has a LOT of problems...but at it's heart, it's striving for the right kind of goals...and as long as that remains the bedrock principle of this country...freedom, democracy, a shared responsibility in our collective future....our problems will continue to be piddly compared to what we see elsewhere.
