But at least we have made a good nation out of this one.

What makes you think we've made a good nation?

We've been bombing the hell out of two nations, we are torturing the hell out of our enemies, we have made a mess of our environment, we produce 25% of the world's pollution but have only 5% of its population; after 60 years of laws prohibiting discrimination and after 150 years since slavery was abolished, discrimination is alive and well in these disunited states; we have a significant underclass in spite of the fact we are one of the wealthiest nations on the earth; twenty percent of our budget goes to defense; we are the only nation to nuke another nation.

Have we done good things? Yes, of course. But there's enough bad to offset the good.

And God knows we are nothing like the Indians who never had rivers that caught fire or lakes that didn't freeze over in winter because of chemicals or who killed off animals to near extinction.
