America is unique in the history of the world: it didn't take land when it beat Germany or Japan
Simon Peres came to Boston for a visit. He was asked what he thought about the war in Iraq. First, he said, "I have to put something in context." He said, "America is unique in the history of the world."
"In the history of the world," he said, "whenever there's been conflict, the nation that wins takes land from the nation that loses. One nation in history, and this during the last century, laid down hundreds of thousands of lives and took no land -- no land from Germany, no land from Korea, no land from Japan."
"America," he said, "is unique in the sacrifice it has made for liberty -- for itself and for freedom-loving people around the world." [http://www.conservative.org/pressroom/2008/speech_romney08.asp]
