Yeah, why did God give us nukes if He didnt want us to use them?

America may be warmongering and greedy, but we arent racist.

For instance, people in many countries have no expectation of a right to peaceably assemble. They know the men in black ski masks will bust them up. Americans DO expect that our rights as we see them are upheld by the government. That's the higher standard. But then our government goes and hires a bunch of ski-masked men for our cities, with the highest-tech crowd dispersal technology on Earth. There are many other examples that could be listed when America has let us down. Generally we are disappointed because we (rightly) expect more from America.
Very well put. I voted for "America's Mistakes Overshadows America's Good Doings," as it was the best for me among the options.

To go in a slightly different direction, I passionately believe that if America expects the other nations of the world to behave in a certain way (capitalist democracies which respect basic freedoms and human rights), then we need to consistently demonstrate that through our own behavior.
