Doug Kern over @ Tech Central Station has a good article on the United States and its resemblence to superheros like Superman, Spiderman and Mr. Incredible. I think he sums it up with this passage:
"Every twenty years or so, we don the mask. The fight isn't always selfless; the superheroes usually fight to save their home cities, often rescuing their own loved ones first. The fight isn't always without casualties, or collateral damage. And sometimes the fight compels us to accept some responsibility for creating our own villains -- as Batman and Mr. Incredible learned, towards the end of their respective movies. But we choose the fight just the same, without anyone's permission, and we do so in the name of what we know to be the good."
