b soetoro, I am not american but I try my best to explain to you what the american idea is like: America is not about governments solving the problems, certainly not for the world. It is the job and the authority of people to do so. The american idea is to give them exactly the freedom to do it themselves. America is about the here and now, no need for a future dream to follow. every individual is free to go for his/her own dreams.
