very good points... I cant debate you on many of them as I am not a history buff. I like to look at pretty pictures and the only politics i get in is when its time to vote.
But on the one point I do think I know a thing or two about is your comment about how great we as americans think our country is. Id have to say thats a pretty uneducated comment which sort of may disqualify the rest of your comments... again i cant fact check.
I have met a load of people outside of the US through retail jobs as a kid and at parties... whatever.. and I have heard two things: "My such and such country is beautiful and really is the best for this and that" and "America is so great and this is what makes it great etc...". So through at least 100 conversations in my day with people outside the US it feels like everyone has a pride for their country and an overall apreciation for America.
The people that i have found that dont like the US much are the ones that have a politically messed up country where either they just hate everyone thats just simply living without threat or where the US has come in to attempt to help and through that the lines of what help is are blurred.
I dunno... maybe you just see lame tourists and read the press too much... take a visit for awhile and hang out... your perspective would then be balanced.
