Keeping Americans healthy depends on joint action to fight the spread of infectious diseases in other countries. Imagine if we are unable to contain the recent outbreak of a deadly virus in Zaire--very quickly you would see Senators clamoring for more aid to stop it from reaching our shores. Stemming the flow of illegal immigrants and refugees to the United States depends on promoting democracy and economic development in the countries from which the refugees are fleeing. These are just a few examples of why we continue to have an enormous stake in what happens in the rest of the world. Fortunately. the United States. the only remaining superpower with the largest economy and the most powerful military. can influence what happens in the rest of the world.
