>> Secondly, why is it so important to you guys that the world see Americans as its saviors and the very best there is?

I'm sure most people have pride in their countries, regardless of where they live. Do you not think the Brits or the French think THEIR countries are the best? I'd best most do. Nothing wrong with that.

What's different about America is that not only do ALL true Americans think their country is the best on Earth, a lot of people from around the world see it that way as well.

So then, you would expect a Brit or an Aussie to write glowing things about the US even thought you acknowledge that they love their own country? Interesting even as it makes no sense given your earlier comments.

The truth is, and I know you don't like dealing in the truth, but there are a number of countries that are as good as if not better than the US. By a number of metrics they are better......less poverty, better educated, longer lifespans, etc.

But thanks, you've explained to me why you guys buy into this patriotic BS.
