Interesting that you didn't outright challenge the points I made but rather tried to downplay them by saying other countries do worse things. That may be the case but so what? I don't get a high from feeling that we're better than Communist China. And if you were well read in history you would be far less likely to compare the US to a puppy dog. The Native Americans? The African slaves? Do those ring any bells? Our history shows that we're not really as humane as you would like to think.

The horrors against the Native American's and African American's (there were far more slaves in the carribean and south america than north america, but we don't hear much about that) were a result of EUROPEAN colonialism, nothing America did. America didn't invent slavery or colonialism, so how can you lay that on America??
