I don't disagree with that and I'd like to see our government come out and admit its past mistakes. It would enable this nation to truly take its place in the world, which needs a moral leader as well as a military and political one.

However, that still doesn't answer the question I posited. As bad as our government is when compared to ones that the philosophers write about, it is by far and away the "best" superpower of this or any time in the history of mankind. All governments consist of people and people who get to the top as rulers tend to abuse their power in one way or another.

Again, that doesn't mean we can't do better.

Given all that, didn't we do the world, the Muslim peoples, the Iraqi people, the mideast a major favor by taking out a vicious, murderer who existed basically to plunder the wealth of Iraq.
