"Is the United States truly a land of liberty and justice for all?" is a question many Americans are asking themselves and thinking of these days.

On Jul. 4, U.S. president George W. Bush declared: "After many years of war, the United States won its independence. The principles that Thomas Jefferson enshrined in the Declaration became the guiding principles of the new nation. And at every generation, Americans have rededicated themselves to the belief that all men are created equal, with the God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Though the United States voices its international lobbying for democracy, freedom, justice, human rights, and other ‘moral' rights, the world in general seems to pay more attention to the actions of the United States.

This hypocrisy has finally hit home. Hard. According to a poll by Rasmussen Reports published by Angus Reid, it was found that 40 % of Americans don't believe that America is a land of liberty and justice for all. Another 14% are not sure if it is.
