How America Lost the (Self-Appointed) Title of ‘Greatest Nation On Earth’ to Denmark
The New York Times’ Thomas L. Friedman sent a postcard from Copanhagen recently.
In an Aug. 9 op-ed column titled “Flush with Energy,” Friedman drew a stark contrast between America’s energy policy and that of Denmark.
That the United States – the all-powerful, lone (for now) superpower – can so easily be trumped by little Denmark is shameful.
It only adds salt to the wound that so many foolish, ignorant and willfully oblivious Americans still insist that they live in the “Greatest Nation on Earth” despite so many shortcomings, such as displayed by this stay-the-course mentality that leaves us in the energy policy dust of forward-thinking nation’s like Denmark.
