I already admitted that trying to stage a coup against an *elected *government and supporting the dictatorship that followed was wrong. I actually did this more than once.
Just because I'm not willing to join the "Blame America for everything bad that has happened in the world" crowd doesn't mean that I think America's perfect.
I do think America is the greatest and most important country in world, because we have done more to advance the cause of freedom more than any other country in the world. We did this through military, economic, and political means. We do the best job of providing opportunities for individuals to succeed, and that's the reason why people from all over the world fight to be here.
I think the people in Germany, Italy, Japan, Iraq, and Afghanistan (and more) can attest to the importance of Uncle Sam.
