I would not be here in the way that I am had America not had that quality of it. If America did not extend its sense of protectiveness to include sending the seventh fleet into the Taiwan Straits, there's nothing stopping communist China from sort of taking over Taiwan. Or if America does not open its shores and and taken immigrants like my parents who were you know, not college educated,. My dad didn't even have it high school education. But they were able to immigrate to this country and live out the American dream of working hard.
