Well I think there is a significant amount of room between having no problems at all and being "probably no worse than anyone else", but even the second option is a point worth making in these kinds of discussions because the implication always seems to be that America is especially bad from both a historical and global perspective (something I don't think is very accurate). We have room for improvement, but such improvement seems more likely if we're realistic about our problems.
