About this Quote

This quote by J. William Fulbright speaks with the power of a country's sense of objective. When a nation is imbued with a sense of purpose, it can easily assume that it has the power and the responsibility to carry out its objective. This can be seen in the manner in which countries typically handle a sense of ethical superiority, believing that they are the ones who are best fit to carry out the will of God. This can cause a sense of privilege and a neglect for the rights of other nations. It is important to keep in mind that no nation has the right to enforce its will on another, which all nations ought to be respected and treated similarly.
