Editorial: U.S. knows with great power comes great responsibility: that's the actual headline from the Globe-News.
One of the bitter truths about being the most powerful nation the world has ever seen is that no matter how much you do to help people, no matter how much support you lend, it's never enough.
The earthquake and tsunamis that devastated much of southern Asia and eastern Africa the day after Christmas prove the point.
President Bush has come to the forefront of the world's leaders in offering aid to the tens of millions of survivors of the devastation. . . .
Yet some in the world have said that the United States, the world's sole superpower, still isn't doing enough.
Sound familiar? It should.
Of course it sounds familiar. It's the freakin' Spiderman myth, for heaven's sake: By failing to use his superpowers when he had the chance George Bush allowed a criminal to escape the law-- a criminal who would later murder George's gentle Uncle Ben! Thus did he learn the fateful truth: with great power comes great responsibility!
Great Ceasar's Ghost! Will the mythmaking never end? First he was Time's American Revolutionary. Now he can spin webs and climb walls, even though he is forever harassed by J. Jonah Jameson, editor and publisher of The Liberal Media!
