As bad as the U.S. maybe in a lot of issues, there is no other country that should look down their noses at the U.S.,especially in Europe, I know its a popular trend to blame America and be ever so ashamed to be an American ...(ahh that was sarcasm,) but too damn bad, look over the country's history, you will see a lot of ugliness, but then again, too damn bad.. yes we had slavery, yes we put Japanese in internment camps, yes even worse than those things have been done by Americans, yes the country has done bad things as a whole, but we are just being human, no less than any other country If we keeping scorecards, measure the US in the last 200 years against any other fair sized nation and tell me who has the right to cast the first stone? certainly not Europe, with Bosnia still fresh in memories.
