16 these were the words of former U . S . President Barack to the U . S . team ’ s basketball players . Harmless words , no doubt , for observers whose brains have always been accustomed to listening to ideas of dominating others under false banners . However , in this sentence , many will not see it ; but there is indeed a dualism . The world and us . Without paraphrasing the rapper Tupac Me against the world , there is indeed this latent idea of antagonism between us and the rest of the world . More easily paraphrased : we have to go out and tell the world , our adversary , that we are the best . In the human history of the last two thousand years , dominated by Western colonization , no nation has ever prevailed over others without waging war on them , either openly or asymmetrically .
