Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

I have been wondering what happened to wise leadership in the US. It seems in the past that wise leaders would emerge when we needed them and help us forge a course in keeping with our common good. We seem to be going in reverse as far as our standing in the world is concerned. We seem to have lost the ability to provide a moral compass not to mention the ability to interact civilly with our world neighbors. I think of "The Ugly American" and our tendency to move in that direction again. I hope we can find another direction.
