DSouza warns in America: Imagine a World Without Her that it is imperative that America remains a superpower because unlike other countries it is inherently good; the kindest gentlest superpower in world history." America never engaged in colonialism as did European powers. America is the one country that helped successfully rebuild destroyed nations after the World Wars; it engages in philanthropy not theft successfully turning Japan and German into free countries. America doesnt exploit the poorer countries. Employing the Chinese at low wages in that backward economy is actually gradually bringing them up out of poverty and into the middle class and reduces the need for them to flee to more prosperous countries.
DSouza thoroughly refutes the notion that the U.S. stole land from the Indians and Mexicans. He speculates if America stole the land from the Sioux didnt the Sioux steal the land from the Cheyenne and other tribes?" Although Indians died in great numbers after exposure to Western diseases it wasnt genocide because it wasnt intentional. He notes that the Indians Mexicans and blacks are better off today due to the arrival of Columbus and Western civilization. The Incas and Aztecs were bloodthirsty and made human sacrifices of themselves. He discredits the myth of Aztlan" observing that the Aztecs didnt even live in the southwestern U.S. but farther south in present-day Mexico.
