I completely agree with this comment. The amount of people which on a daily basis ridicule the United States is astounding. How different are we from them? Have we forgotten that we fought the same fights, grew in the same time period, or have encountered much the same problems? True, we have had different approaches to different problems which can be attributed to our resource differences. The US has much deeper pockets than we do, and so they deal with problems differently. But, while they have on occasion stooped to acts which are shameful, they have more often than not followed their conscience. More than any other superpower in the past, the US has adhered to the principles on which it was founded. For this we should respect and applaud them, if for nothing else. I fear we are merely the armchair quarterbacks of the world.
