Ummm.......If you knew your history, you would know that Japan and Germany are world powers today thanks to the USA's reconstruction efforts for about 2 decades after WW2. France wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for us helping them fight off the Nazis. Brittain was in big trouble as well and we helped them out during WW2. A lot of countries have been helped tremendously because of the USA and they continue to be helped today. Do some research into actual facts and you might be surprised what you will find.

The defeat of the Nazis and imperial Japan, The destruction of the USSR, The end to slavery during the 19th century, The feeding of billions around the world. The fact that every day people die trying to get here is all you need to know

You're kidding right? How about the assembly line, spliting the atom, most advances in electronics and medicine and telecommunications. You are blind if you can not see the contributions the US has made to the world.

The freedom of Europe, twice.
The freedom of South Korea.
The freedom of the former Soviet block.
The freedom of Kuwait.
The freedom of Afghanistan.
The freedom of Iraq.
We feed the world.
Besides all of our technological achievements (the airplane, computers, Internet, Teflon, mass production, etc., etc.), I'd say we are probably responsible for saving about 2 BILLION lives.
Proud to be an American!
