American Exceptionalism
Robert Higgs • Monday, October 22, 2018
When others do it, it’s terrorism; when Americans do it, it’s national defense.
When others do it, it’s a war crime; when Americans do it, it’s collateral damage.
When others do it, it’s torture; when Americans do it, it’s enhanced interrogation.
When others do it, it’s unprovoked attack; when Americans do it, it’s shock and awe.
When others do it, it’s imperialism; when Americans do it, it’s global defense of freedom.
When others do it, it’s lying propaganda; when Americans do it, it’s breaking news on CNN.
When others do it, they go to hell; when American do it, they go to heaven.
