Claiming this, is like claiming the least odorous clump of dung, in the pile. The pile being the world.

I've never understood pride of any kind, when it comes to nationality. Reason being: You have no choice in where you were born. So . . . how can you be proud of something you had nothing to do with?

Aayan Hirsi Ali says the USA is the best country in the world. Some would say that atheists don't know anything, but she's also from Europe and Africa, and thus has some perspective.

You better count how many countries were destroyed by bombing by the USA or how many civilian people were killed by american troops. And if you really don't know what have other nations done then you have to educate yourself a little bit.
