Can some people be so blind to the flaws of this country. How can you believe we are so innocent. It's almost despicable to see the ignorance spewing out of some of these peoples mouths, how can they call themselves Americans when they just blindly support whatever leadership is thrown their way and every decision without any question. It almost makes me sick.

BS The biggest killer was the Soviet Union or China, See this article
Our century is noted for its absolute and bloody wars. World War I saw nine-million people killed in battle, an incredi ble record that was far surpassed within a few decades by the 15 million battle deaths of World War II. Even the number killed in twentieth century revolutions and civil wars have set historical records. In total, this century's battle killed in all its international and domestic wars, revolutions, and violent conflicts is so far about 35,654,000.
Yet, even more unbelievable than these vast numbers killed in war during the lifetime of some still living, and largely unknown, is this shocking fact. This century's total killed by absolutist governments already far exceeds that for all wars, domestic and international. Indeed, this number already approximates the number that might be killed in a nuclear war.
From 1918 to 1953, the Soviet government executed, slaughtered, starved, beat or tortured to death, or otherwise killed 39,500,000 of its own people (the best estimate among figures ranging from a minimum of twenty million killed by Stalin to a total over the whole communist period of eighty-three million). For China under Mao Tse-tung, the communist government eliminated, as an average figure between estimates, 45,000,000 Chinese. The number killed for just these two nations is about 84,500,000 human beings, or a lethality of 252 percent more than both World Wars together

Stalin and Mao each killed many more of their own people (several times over) than the U.S. has killed in the last 100 years. Did you get rejected for your green card, or something?

I don't think we're even in the running when you take people like Stalin and Hitler and Mao into consideration. Even Saddam has killed a enough on his own order to rival the nukes we dropped in WW2.I seem to recall that one of the Khans eradicated Iraq at one time. Alexander the Great did a number on Asia too. Without the nukes we wouldn't even be on the edge of the discussion.

True Secular Progressive ideology.
If you vote Democrat you vote people that support thinking like this guy.
I believe that you forgot that Communism has killed 140 million, Hitler killed a few million. Terrorism has killed countless and unrecorded millions.
And USA is somehow the big "murderer"
Please drain the bias before your head explodes.

I think Japan killed 20 times more people in the slaughter of some individual Chinese villages than the US has in Iraq so far.

Makes you wonder why they keep messing with us , doesnt it ! We have used nukes before and we will do it again if neceesary to keep our democracy, and we could make a whole lot of muslims happy by sending them to Allah. Especially since they have so little regard for the lives of their own people . I love it how fast they are killing fellow muslims in Iraq !

Yeah! We're pretty f-ing intolerant, aren't we? Even before the 1900s we were killers: Native Americans, six million Africans not "lucky" enough to survive to become slaves, half of our own population of young men in the Civil War....etc. etc.
There are many parts of being an American that I like, but many other parts I am vastly ashamed of.
