I read the above article, and it struck me that this article was true in 2011 (when it was written) and all the more relevant today in 2020.
All powerful nations like to think they are exceptional. That they are special. Yet what makes a nation great is not being great, but that national strive toward being a great nation. It is the effort which makes a nation great and keep it so. When we become engrossed in our own greatness, that is when hubris will make us a footnote in history.
