Assignment:

Commentator Thomas Friedman reflected on the Islamic terrorists' hatred for America as a country of wealth and power but "no values:" The Islamic terrorists think our wealth and power is unrelated to anything in the soul of this country.... Of course, what this view of America completely misses is that American power and wealth flow directly from a deep spiritual source-a spirit of respect for the individual, a spirit of tolerance for differences of faith or politics, a respect for freedom of thought as the necessary foundation for all creativity, and a spirit of unity that encompasses all kinds of differences.

a. Do you agree that the "spiritual source" Friedman cites is the foundation for American success? Explain.

b. Does America lack a meaningful "soul"? Explain.
