You are being willfully ignorant, Foofie. The US has shown nothing of the kind. The US has used its massive propaganda machine, helped along by ignorant people like you to create the world's largest Potemkin village.
All this was done so that the US could rape and pillage innocent and poor countries around the world. The US doesn't give a **** about women and women's rights. The US has abused, tortured, raped and murdered not only women, but men and children, young and old, all done to steal their wealth.
Cute expression, "willfully ignorant." You can apply it to yourself also, in my opinion. You sound angry? Since you are hiding behind the anonynimity of being from a nameless country, you can claim to have no sins of your country. Well, if you are from Canada, I believe Canada does not have a spotless record regarding the Native Canadians; or am I wrong?
Actually, no country inhabited by Caucasians has a spotless record regarding the original indigenous peoples, even in Europe, I would guess.
The fallacy of your accusations, is that the US is politically aligned with other countries in a global marketplace, whereby western countries do have a profit motive that allows their citizens to live better than developing nations. So, referring to the US, as though it is a person is sooo myopic. In fact, if Canada has the luxery of being non-involved in so much of the world's politics, it is because the US has done the proverbial dirty work, while Canadians sit back and enjoy the winter sports.
