I'm always amazed at how most of you guys feel you can leave all the points unrebutted, and use the "a little slogan will do you," brillcream analogy.
You'd be in the America is perfect crowd, who sees slavery, indian genocide, privateering, killing people for oil, CIA coup in Iran that started all of this, all as good things? Face it, no country and no person is perfect. If you bothered to actually read, and understand the point, rather than leaning your mind-crippled ass on the cane of idiot sloganeering, then you'd see that introspection is a process that helps people get to a better place, in this case, a better America. But thinking you are perfect, on the other hand, well, in your case means you can just use a slogan, and it makes everything all right. It avoids thought. It avoids bettering of yourself.
What points are those??
You want Americans to apologize for the mistakes we've made?
Well I'll make you a deal. I'll start apologizing when the nations we've helped start paying us back for all the good things we've done. We were the ones that rushed in to help when there were floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse. we helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. It was us Americans that lifted Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, out of the debris of war and we poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. It was us Americans that rebuilt the railways of France, Germany and India. It's us Americans that is the first to respond when earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and other natural disasters strike. I can name you hundreds of times when us Americans have rushed in to help other countries, from threats of war to natural disasters.
You name me one other country that has done more or gave more than the U.S.!! I'm one American that will not make apologies.

Britain paid back its war debt to the United States several years ago.
