Paul Johnson

Fire of Liberty

Paul Johnson, the don of history, has written a terrific article over at Forbes.com praising the actions of the US throughout the World. Look at what Johnson has to say about this nation:
Just as the appalling 20th century was the age of the totalitarian state, the Gulag and Auschwitz, so the 21st may come to be seen as the age of government "of the people, by the people, for the people." If so, the U.S., by its courage and persistence, will be able to take primary credit. It has certainly led from the front, and it has shown that it knows how to use its position as the world's sole superpower with judgment, honor and unselfishness.
Leave it to Paul Johnson to lay it out in a clear and coherent way.
