Name one time in history where that wasn't the case. Perhaps, this is what you meant: the issue that the US did those thing isn't so much the issue. The issue is the lie that the US didn't do those things. I'm as critical as anyone towards the US. My thing is this: I just hold it accountable for doing things other countries and peoples did. At the same time, there are some unique things that the US Constitution has given us: for me, the number one thing is the separation of church and state which by extension debunks the notion that God chooses a nation's leaders. I have other favorites, too. This notion that the US is particularly bad is no different (and false) than asserting that it is particularly good. It does good and it does bad, just like any other country.
