I love how people label the American people as arrogant; when we use quotes such as this to stick our noses in another state's issues and go to war with them. America is the best example of what any nation should be like. Do not confuse arrogance with leadership. "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice -- is often the means of their regeneration." John Stuart Mill
