There are two ways that religion has been brought into public life in American history. The first way--God is on our side--leads inevitably to triumphalism, self-rightenousness, bad theology, and, often, dangerous foreign policy. The second way--asking if we are on God's side--leads to much healthier things, namely, penitence and even repentance, humility, reflection, and even accountability.

Thanks Yono, Happy New Year to you too, and to the World. To Uncle Sam (USA): in 200 years, how many wars has the USA waged (and so many lost), and add a bloody civil war. Just put into your heads that you are no better than anybody else. At least recognize this and stop your self-aggrandisement. Be a little more modest, a little more benevolent and stop looting the rest of the world, then perhaps, the rest of the world won't hate you all so much.
