| Sumario: | The notion of justice has been ignored in recent U.S. foreign policy decisions. In his second inaugural address, President George W. Bush's reiterated the belief that liberty is an intrinsic human good. In addition to liberty, however, the Pledge of Allegiance promises justice, something Bush made no reference to. Opponents of the United States fear that the freedom so loudly supported by the nation translates into a license for the rich and powerful to take advantage of the poor and the weak, and they wage their anit-Americanism in the name of justice. Unless the United States concentrates on easing injustice as much as it does on expanding freedom, its influence in the world is certain to weaken.
