America offers more opportunity and social mobility than any other country, including the countries of Europe.
In the American view, there is nothing vile or degraded about serving your customers either as a CEO or as a waiter. The ordinary life of production and supporting a family is more highly valued in the United States than in any other country. America is the only country in the world where we call the waiter "sir," as if he were a knight.
People live longer, fuller lives in America.
In America the destiny of the young is not given to them, but created by them.
America has gone further than any other society in establishing equality of rights.
America has found a solution to the problem of religious and ethnic conflict that continues to divide and terrorize much of the world. Visitors to places like New York are amazed to see the way in which Serbs and Croatians, Sikhs and Hindus, Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants, Jews and Palestinians, all seem to work and live together in harmony. How is this possible when these same groups are spearing each other and burning each other's homes in so many places in the world?
America is the only country in the world that extends full membership to outsiders. An American could spend 40 years in India but would not become Indian. In America, by contrast, hundreds of millions have come from far-flung shores and over time they, or at least their children, have in a profound and full sense "become American."
Twice in the 20th century, the United States saved the world -- first from the Nazi threat, then from Soviet totalitarianism. What would have been the world's fate if America had not existed? After destroying Germany and Japan in World War II, the United States proceeded to rebuild both countries, and today they are American allies. Now we are doing the same thing in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet America never stays to rule that country.
America is far from perfect, and there is lots of room for improvement. In spite of its flaws, however, American life as it is lived today is the best life that our world has to offer. Ultimately America is worthy of our love and sacrifice because, more than any other society, it makes possible the good life, and the life that is good.

The USA is as good of country as any other country in the world. Each country has its own ideals so really one country cannot be compared to another. The USA has its cultures and each other country in the world has theirs. That is the good thing.
The government of the USA however needs to be removed and a government that will reinstate the US Constitution without those of the power elite pulling the strings. The US government does not have the best interests of the people in mind and are stripping the people of more and more of their freedoms and rights.
The People of the USA are just idly sitting by and letting a runaway government strip the freedoms and rights of the people and country and believe the propaganda that is being put out. It is time the people of the USA awaken before they totally loose their freedoms, rights, and even your country.

It is the most powerful nation in the world right now. I am not a big fan of their president but I know he is done in 2008. I agree with the war in Afghanistan but not the one in Iraq. I don't understand why some blame all Americans for its leaders choices. I think it is a nice place to live since I moved here, but I am looking to move back home after I graduate college.

This is a great country. The others have said it very well. Our ancestors came here to get away from all of the tyrants in the other parts of the world.

I'm very proud to be an American. This is one of the best countries to live in and I'm grateful I do. I value the freedoms we have as well as the responsibilities to protect those freedoms.

in case you examine blogs, and so on from human beings in different international places, you get a number of a million) American's gloat way too lots approximately themselves, 2) they think of they are kings of the international, 3) they seem down on all different international places, 4) this record ought to circulate on, yet what stands out as the factor. American's won't in any respect see themselves as something different than super. interior the tip, united states of america is not greater helpful than England, Australia, Canada, , and so on, and so on, and so on, yet yet they think of they are. it is the main considerable reason there is a lot hate pointed rapidly on the States. and that i for one am damned sick and bored with being referred to as a "Dumb Canadian" as quickly as I call somebody interior the states on enterprise yet as quickly as I get the around around and contact that individual out, i'm getting referred to as names. you do no longer see me looking down on different international places, nor would I ever be so ruthless and immature to call absolutely everyone Dumb.
