If you find the United States is fundamentally flawed, what other nation should we emulate?
(NOTE: I am not saying "America: Love it or leave it! I am simply asking what other nation is your idea of what the United States should be).
Example - You think "neo-cons" are a nefarious influence in the U.S. What nation(s) have no neo-con influences?

The US should be itself. It was a world leader when it came to the New Deal, no other nation had New Deal programs, and that is pure American ideology, not imported from Europe like Keynesianism, Austrianism, Socialism, etc.

According to Bruce Gagnon, Coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space, "The U.S. military is increasingly being converted into a global oil protection service." Plans are being laid to wage war "to preemptively take control" of "a 'non-integrating gap' in the world that is resisting corporate globalization" so "the U.S. can 'manage' the global distribution of resources, people, energy and money." The "gap" nations happen to be in the world's key oil-producing regions.
Gagnon's article focuses on the writings and teachings of Thomas Barnett, a professor at the Navy War College, author of the book The Pentagon's New Map, and Donald Rumsfeld's "strategy guy," as Gagnon puts it.
Gagnon reports that Barnett "argues that the days of arms talks and international treaties are over" and that BARNETT RECENTLY REMINDED A MILITARY AUDIENCE THAT HITLER "NEVER ASKED FOR PERMISSION BEFORE INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES."
