All I see is a bunch of country envy.

Prior to the early 1900s - when America really started becoming a world power - the preferred language of business and trade was French. Britain gave us the English language, we (after butchering thoroughly) gave it to the world.

Show me three countries with a higher GDP than America.

How many countries have our resources?

I can think of one army that could stand up to our own, and that is only because it has more people than we have bullets and bombs.

We didn't lose the Vietnamese war, support for it fell apart thanks to - gasp - Liberals and the government started withdrawing its support as well. I can't remember and I'm too lazy to look, but I think NVA/VC to US casualties were something like 15/1. If support hadn't disappeared, we'd have won by their surrender or the total genocide of the Vietnamese people.

Which country nearly doubles the amount of money contributed by the second largest contributer to the UN?

Which country provides more than double the amount of aid to other countries than the second largest contributer?

Which country contributes more than 15 times the amount of aid that is the average contribution of the 25 most wealthy nations?

Which country's economy literally sets the tone for the world economy?

I won't even continue on with the things which can be considered subjective, these are the hard facts alone...
