I do not call that a "good job";I call that a disgrace. The idea that any other country would be more brutal is just American propaganda concerning the virtues of its dark global economic despotism.
You said it your self the Soviet Union was worse and would be worse if it was the world leader. Tell me which country/empire in world history held the power the USA does and did a better job? I never said we didn't do anything wrong we did many things wrong but, we are by FAR the best world leader to come around. Things are never going to be perfect but, it isn't as bad as it could be.
