America has done a lot of shitty things, bombed a lot of people, encourage and fought a drug trade simultaneously for money. It isn't in a vacuum. The EU, UK, Japan, AU, NZ all benefit from Americas dominance (they have socialized healthcare, because they outsource defense to the US Navy). And really most US wars (Iraq, Libya, Obama's failed attempt to go into Syria) are wars of Israel, which has an undue amount of influence over the EU/US/West.

But I do like the concept behind Americanism and our implementation of the Bill of Rights, ignoring all the presidents who ignored it (like Abraham Lincoln, who is only praised because he won the war for America by forsaking all American constitutional ideals, ordering his armies to murder a lot of civilians and burn through all their land).

My family is from India and I've see the alternative: also a capitalist and democratic nation, but on that doesn't function as well as the US or Japan, due to a mixture of corruption, lack of unified culture (the same multiculturalism that Europe is trying to bring to their shores) and possibly the population and infrastructure issues.

Capitalism can work and work well, but it needs to be tempered ... and it's independent of morality and human rights, which must be fought for diligently at all times, or else the psychopaths and bankers will do their best to take them away to maximize their own capital.
