Rep. Jose Serrano- What you students need to know is that when you hear people criticizing the United States, whether it's Democrats or Republicans, that's ok, that's politics. But when you see nations like Egypt, Libya and Syria having revolutions they are indirectly saying "we want to be like you." Why do they want to be like us?  Because we are the greatest nation on the face of the Earth.
