Nice reply. No facts but just generalities. You will choose to believe what you will because it is in your best interest to do so. Many nazis still believe Hitler was right. i see no difference in your view. I can best sum up your view as this:

The USA is the best country therefore it is always right and the rest of the world is slightly subhuman therefore we must tell them how to live...even if few million of them must die in order for us to show them what is the best course.

"If one were to choose a single word to characterize that [American] identity, it would have to be more. For the majority of contemporary Americans, the essence of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness centers on a relentless personal quest to acquire, to consume, to indulge, and to shed whatever constraints might interfere with these endeavors." Those "intent on curbing the American penchant for consumption and self-indulgence are fighting a rearguard action. … The point is neither to deplore nor to celebrate this fact, but simply to acknowledge it."
