What are we Americans going to do? We possess the most successful and the most radical political system ever created on earth for guaranteeing by law democratic governments for our states. Our union of states has been the main source of exceptional economic development for our citizens. Are we going to sit back and do nothing to help the rest of the world enjoy the benefits of the system that we enjoy and that nation-states in the world now need? Washington gained great power for itself internally and externally in the twentieth century but it is false and wrong for us to believe that this power must necessarily be used only to dominate our states and to influence openly and secretly foreign states throughout the world. Washington’s worldwide power is precisely a condition necessary to produce freedom and goodness for us and everyone else in the world because only great worldwide power can guarantee freedom and universal human rights worldwide. The Washington government is also the only well funded independent powerful organization existing in the world that has the material means and the political power to reduce and eliminate threats to the world’s environment like global warming. What to do? We must be loyal to Washington and support its actions around the world. We must accept in good faith whatever our Supreme Court decides is a just law of our perpetual union. But we and peoples worldwide can not hide from the fact that Washington is the new Rome. We are all dependent on it already to greater or lesser degrees for our world’s welfare. Our loyalty to Washington should not require us Americans to do nothing. We must make America begin listening to voices that come not only from Washington but also from the heart and soul of what American history has made us, a union of sovereign states. We must bust out of our comfortable mental bubble and realize that the economy of our union of states can become expansive in a revolutionary and positive way if we lighten the national responsibilities of Washington and give it the burden of interstate leadership on a worldwide scale. Our job is to invite all states in the world to join our union of states in order to assure by our laws and our Constitution their existence as democracies and their economic development.
