Generally speaking, most Americans have a decent place to live, have the ability to purchase a car, dine out, etc. Even the poor in this country have A.C., cable T.V, microwaves, Ipods, etc.
Many Euros believe they are culturally superior to the U.S. Many Arabs believe they are religiously supererior to the U.S.
Both look at the U.S. and ask themselves, "how is a country like this on top?" Because we are a "melting pot" we can take the best ideas, etc. from the world. Many countries are fighting century old ideas about class, sex, etc. which hinders their development.
But its O.K. we understand and will continue to guide the rest of the world.
