Yes kids, hate it all you like but the U.S. has done far more good than ill and is the most generous, innovative and accepting nation IN THE WORLD! Doubt it, travel a bit and have a look for yourself.

You know, this is funny coming from someone who adopts a pseudonym from a British television series.
Humor aside, what's you standard for what "matters." I hope I'm not out of line pulling from your context to think you mean military and economic power are what makes a nation "matter." While this is not to say that those are not important, certainly there has been tremendous social, cultural, and scientific progress in many countries that rival the U.S. even if they may not have military might or wealth we do. If we're such a great nation, then a little humility and respect for others shouldn't be beyond our grasp
