Country Goes Global Album Cover

One goal of U.S. national-security strategy is to champion aspirations for human dignity. Coupled with our effort to promote regional stability through democratic reform and our belief that all people are born with certain inalienable rights, our nation has focused efforts to protect the rights of all people throughout the world. -- "Human Rights and Legitimacy in the Training and Advisory Mission," Special Warfare Magazine, January 2013.

This is called "The American Way."
