Why do we have to be a military superpower?
Why can't we be a humanitarian superpower?

from Lupe Fiasco (Ft. Howard Zinn) – Introduction Lyrics on Rap Genius

Why are we so set on being a country that has the strongest military instead of focusing on being a country with the most good will? Why focus on having the ability to end life rather than focus on the ability to prevent the loss of it.
