"In the Incarnation the whole human race recovers the dignity of the image of God. Thereafter, any attack, even on the least of men, is an attack on Christ, who took on the form of man, and in his own Person restored the image of God in all. Through our relationship with the Incarnation, we recover our true humanity, and at the same time are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and recover our solidarity with all mankind."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The US has long enjoyed the position of controlling the world's reserve currency, which provides a very powerful financial position and natural banking advantages.
The US has abused that power significantly since the 1980's and in particular in the last 8 years of the Bush II administration.
They say that 'pride goeth before a fall.'
There is certainly little to argue with that proposition based on the situation in which we find ourselves today.
