 | Perhaps power was the wrong word. And it's not the physical passport
that does it, it's the fact that you're American. Lots of people
around the world will treat you nicer simply because you're American.
It also helps to be American if you want to travel between countries.
And don't forget about taxes! In Poland, Americans don't have to pay
tax for the first two years living here.
To put it simply, America is "officially" respected all over the world.
Most folks that work in government offices would rather smoothe out
problems for Americans than cause them.
This is, of course, just *my* experience (in Italy and Poland). Your
mileage may vary.
