Did you consider the possibility that you're like many (most?) of US people just brainwashed (hard to believe, I know, after all you live in the capital of the said free world)? It might be that simple. * For more info ask: Iraq, Vietnam, China, Korea, KSA people (not you ally royal family), Africa, Native Americans, Iran (1952, 1979), Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Japan, US Black people, Cupa, Chile, Brazil, Egypt, South Africa.........

I dont see anything especially bad about the US. The notion that other countries would have acted better is often betrayed by their own history. The US just historically had more capability. Additionally the pax americana has saved millions of lives. If your a male the odds you die in combat have decreased globally by more than an order of magnitude since the US became a super power. Global poverty has also rapidly decreased etc.
