Nine-Eleven awakened America to the consequences of its actions, and to its
responsibilities in the world. As the world's only superpower, America has a
higher responsibility than other countries. It must lead the world in fighting tyranny
in its many forms. It must be the impartial world sheriff.
But America also has the responsibility to lead the world in promoting
democracy, human rights, and peace. This is moralpolitiks, the use of wealth and
knowledge to build a better world. This is America's heart and soul. This is
America's best and highest destiny."

State University, and then completed an advanced law degree

University.
After a short stay at the U.S. Department of State,
Roger went to India by invitation of the Dalai Lama's admin-istration,
to advise them in the drafting of a constitution for
an autonomous Tibet. Roger also worked on the political
conflicts in Burma, Kashmir, and Afghanistan. His first book,
The Wandering Peacemaker, is about his experiences during
this work. America's Highest Destiny is his second book.
