no i really do not think so It's not about the bad things these today's great nations have done in the past, but what they are still doing. Among all those great nations that tortured populations, invaded innocent nations, killed innocent peoples, America is the only nation that has kept its old pattern of behavior. Go to Afghanistan and visit a US Military base, see how those folks are being treated in their own land. The one you heard on the news lately about 2 USMC who shot an Afghan and urinated on the poor man illustrates well my point. And listen, things worst than that are done everyday by mostly the men in uniforms.Beside this country is not represented abroad by people non-classy people as you think, It's surprisingly the opposite. Those diplomats sent to different countries around the world are the wrongdoers. They treat people they are supposed to be cooperating with, like their slaves. Take a trip to a US Embassy in South America, you'll understand what I mean. There are a lot of things that seed resentment in people's heart against the USA around the world.
Yet, I thank our soldiers for our courage. And keep this in mind as well, being the greatest nation on earth will trigger hatred no matter.
