Of course, martyrdom suggests that one has suffered because of conscience. Americas loss of support in the word is not a result of conscience, its a result of myopia and self-focus. The invasion of Iraq turned most of the first world against us and confirmed the beliefs of the developing world that Americans were largely predatory and exploitative. This kind of grasping cannot continue indefinitely, as you note. America has a big choice to make. Will we be Britain and step down our empire and live within our borders in a productive relationship with our former colonies or will we take the path of Rome, oblivious to our decline, self-focused to the end, and destined for collapse.
