It really depends on a many thing but bear in mind that most countries have excellent Special Forces operatives. The US have been really good at promoting them through movies.
The real difference is that they have a lot of experts compared to smaller countries.

US :
US Army Special Forces (Operational Detachement Alpha) : Alpha Team (Green Berets). Among them : the SF OD Delta (Delta Force)
US NAVY Seals (US navy)
160th SAO (US Air Force)

UK : 21st and 22nd Regiment SAS

France : 11e BPC (11 Choc, part of Secret Service), CRAP (That's true : Commando de Recherche et d'Action en Profondeur)

Israeli : Don't know

Russia : Spetsnaz (Alpha, Vimpel Forces)

Depends what you want to do.

Want a force that knows their culture and needs to interact with the people? I'd say Green Berets.

Want a silent force that will go in, come out, and no one hears about it? Navy SEALS.

The Air Force has some top-notch guys, and the Marines are getting their own branch of special warfare guys.

The Polish have some top-notch fighters, as do the British.

In the end, you have to ask yourself "who will get the job done?"

And the answer depends on what the job is.

Being biased and a student of politics and military, without a doubt the US is the best in world !
Not saying they are the toughest men but that they are among the toughest men in the physical aspects all nations want from their special forces.
The US is the leader in covert operations groups success rates by far and there are many reaons for it.
Aside from the glory boys the armchair wargame heros adore the United States has the most technological infrastructure to support its covert actions.
From implanted chips for location to monitoring a groups every action on ground even if they are thousands of miles away and under the most inclemental weather conditons.
Ability to insert and remove with stealth and power if need be at an instance notice.
It has by far the largest force in world of such warriors and are backed up by the largest intelligence network on earth along with the largest military force.
Ability to pick from a very large cross sction of earths language or racial profiles is its strongest point.
The US and Israel have the only spec ops that are trained and capable of removal of Nuclear arms from any country on earth.They have joint teams and in the case of pakistan were on instant call if need arose during Afghan invasion.
US and Israel are also the only countries that have special forces armed with and capable of using tactical small nukes in combat situations.
US spec ops are equipped with the best weapons no matter the situation demands.
Special Forces is not just the video presentations one sees but is much more complex an arrangment than any other country can present.
We have used our spec ops almost on a daily basis for years now in every country on earth.
Their ability to be utilized by all inteligence agencys make the old idea of gun happy shoot em ups a thing of past as today brains as well as brawn is needed.
To even begin to compare the US spec ops to private contractors abilitys and personell is a stretch of imagination. While the contractors do indeed have many ex spec ops pulling security and mercenary duty for their American hirees it is only because sometimes we need men without a conscience to do dirty work or menial chores who can later take blame if anything goes agaist official policy, they are mainly used so as not to strain or stain our trained soldiers.

the british special air service, if you look at wikipedia you will see that the navy seals and delta force etc, were modelled on the sas and trained by the sas.

american special forces dont come close to being as elite as the brits sas.

the idiots above think that any special forces is the best if they are from their country but thats just not true

The Navy SEALS are trained to be the best in the world, however, the U.S. Marine Corps are the most versatile.

The American Military is the best military overall.

However the British SAS is the best equipped and best trained special forces.

Partially because they've had more practice, dealing with the IRA.
