I've lived in four different countries. I've fought in wars. I've participated in cases involving the Law of Armed Conflict and the Geneva Conventions in three separate countries. If you mean 'Blinkered' as I've seen a lot of AWFUL SH!t than yeah. However unless you are aware of US Government Officials engaging in the following: Making the rape of children over the age of 9 years old customary and routine, Official questioning of men and women conducted while their genitalia is hooked up to car batteries, Coercion of their citizens by executing their children in front of them with a hand held drill, jailing prisoners in 55 degree cells with no clothing and dousing them with water so that their core temperature drops over an excruciating period, Condoning and facilitating slavery, Killing large portions of their own civilian populations to galvanize political support, The cutting off of hands and heads as routine law enforcement, Being pressed into participation in rigged elections.... should I continue with a description of the world's governments? Unless you are aware of US Representatives behaving in this type of behavior than I would say we still hold some moral high ground.

You live in the most JUST, ETHICAL ,PROSPEROUS, and FAIR country ever to exist in History. Be Thankful!
