America is the most powerful nation in the world today, that much is probably true. If it were benevolent this could be a good thing. But power there is concentrated in the hands of the rich. These people & corperations want to stay rich and get richer and care little for the consequences to others or the enviroment,nor can they care about the long term effects like global warming. The only balencing power there is against america is nuclear weapons.

There is a tower in the Emperor's palace called the Tower of Heroes, at the summit of that tower hangs the Bell of Lost Souls. Its wailing moan of grief lasts long and reaches the ears of millions, and its tones penetrate the unifying ether of humanity turning the thought of countless billions towards mankind's loss.
