The USA does good things, as well as some bad. all i want is some credit for the good stuff. we're a big country, of course we have alot of problems, make alot of mistakes, and if we are looking out for our intrests, well--so be it....who wouldn't??? Just give the USA a break!!!
GorillaGal , the USA IS the greatest superpower ever in world's history.
It has a constitution that is second to none , a constitution that allows for the most powerful man's removal from office not by force or military coup but by the legal means contained in the constitution. In its' role as the world's police force inevitably errors occur and when they do the media exposes and criticises without fear of persecution. It is the world's number one democracy and the protector of the democratic ideals , you generally find most third world countries are harshly critical of the USA who , on the one hand see as their lame excuse for all their misfortunes , mostly self inflicted , while with the other hand gratefully receive handouts.
It is a great nation and long may it continue to be the worlds number one power , I dread the alternative.
