Do you agree with this postcard-style argument (above)? Do think Arundhati Roy is correct when she describes "a world laid to waste by America's foreign policy" ("The Algebra of Infinite Justice" 343)? Or does Dinesh D'Souza win the argument about America's "principle of the lesser evil" ("The Wrong America" 3)? And would the world be better or worse off without America?
