Redditor on What does America do best? says: In any country I have visited (that number is at 25 or so) none of them share the air of restless ambition that Ive found in the US. That their impossible dream is valid and possible, that they alone shape the course of their country, their state, or their city if they so desire, that they acknowledge their position and ask are we capable of more? I know I have not looked hard enough, for I am sure those people exist elsewhere. Maybe Ive found it less present simply because no other country has our resources; but, nonetheless, it is lacking, that sheer hope that tomorrow will be better than today if only we have the courage to chase it. When other people ask me what I miss most about living in the USA I answer with all of the lesser ones above, the food, the TV, or the nature; but, Ive never said: I miss being in a country which knows it is capable of greater things: that we will cure cancer and advance the sciences, that we will pursue corruption and combat poverty, that we will be the worlds police to those who wish it harm and the worlds shelter to those who have been harmed because that is our duty, that we will go back to the Moon and then on to Mars, because our forefathers forged our greatness and our children compel us to utilize it.
