America may NOT be the greatest country in the world. Of course that would depend on the criteria used to make a final decision on which one really is best and why.
Let's say Canada just got attacked by a foreign power using nuclear weapons. Who shall we call? Let's start with Switzerland. Oh, forgot, they're "neutral". That's the country that misused money and items after the war that had been placed there by the Jews. It's also where the Nazis kept their plunder from defeated countries during the war. Of course prostitution is legal there so maybe they win?? Maybe the Libyan Airforce or Mexican Navy will help out. Heck, we could call on some Knights from England. That's it, the fearless, loyal Knights of England!! No, wait. The knights just aren't what they used to be. Now we get Paul Mc Cartney and Elton John (if his husband will let him go)
Gee, I guess we'll just have to get those losers from America to step up to the plate yet again. We'll be nice to them and let them bury their war dead on our land like the French did at Normandy for over 9,000 Americans that died there.
America isn't perfect, nothing is perfect, but overall the "Best"?? Yes we are! Now go do your civic duty.
