Economically, we may be stronger than any other nation. We enjoy basic freedoms, of which we are very proud. But we still haven't measured up to transcendence in international affairs. You can make your own list. I would say that we should be the champion of peace.
Zaire faces that challenge now.
And, of course, there is respect for human rights, the basic human rights about which we sometimes debate. I don't mean just those in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, because we Americans like to talk about only those. We like to talk about freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, trial by jury and so forth. But we don't want to talk about everyone in America having the right to a decent home, or adequate food, or a job, or medical care. Human rights should be a broad-based thing.
