Well, if not the best, then why do so many want to come here and enjoy our freedoms, and oportunities?
If not the best, why does the rest of the world look to us to solve their problems?
If not the best, why does the UN exist in New York, and not some other city in the world?
If not the best, why does the rest of the world look to us for food ?
I say as an American, we should become more isolationist, and let the rest of you ungrateful complainers solve your own problems.
The fact of the matter is that America is hated out of envy for being the best.
