Is it really any different on this board than anywhere else?

If these things were said about any other group, the outcry would be thunderous.

While I don't quite agree to that level (the policies and actions of other countries are criticised too) America does get a lot of criticism - but that's to be expected. Which doesn't mean it should be accepted, but people complain about those at the top in all walks of life. People complain about the football team that wins the league every year, no one gives a stuff about my team, they're too low down. And here in Little Britain, England is often criticised by the smaller nations, because England is bigger and more powerful. That's the way it goes.
The success and failure of nations is more down to luck than anything else. If you're lucky enough to live in a prosperous country, enjoy it. But don't go patting yourself on the back like you (or anyone you've ever met) had anything to do with it.
