Daou Report has a lot of interesting things to say about US politics and moral authority.
I have something small to add to all this.
The impression I get, as a foreigner watching this from the outside (albeit from ringside seats), is that those in power in the US think they have moral authority because they are Americans. It really seems to me that current US foreign policy is based on the tacit assumption that "Hey, we're the good guys!" It's like they don't feel the need to give any thought to making sure that they maintain moral authority, because, hey, they're the hero of the movie, they're the cowboys in white hats. Of course they're the good guys!
I think they could use a lesson or two on noblesse oblige from Professor Dumbledore.
