The concept is Oxymoronic. America lead the Free World during the Cold War because of its overwhelming military might, having deliberately beggared Britain and France, undermined our economies, dismantled our Empires, bound us to you be debt. America was never the Good Guy - you were the Big Guy who was preferable to the Ruskies.

Now the ruskies are no longer such a terrible threat - we no longer need you to "lead us".

What, you thought it was a moral thing?
