I don't get all the apologies in this thread. The US is a great country! Has its warts, but I've lived in Europe, and I've been to Australia, and I wouldn't live anywhere else.
It's the maverick, can-do entrepreneurial spirit that's more prevalent among Americans and the rich cultural diversity that comes with being a melting pot that I love about this country. Outside of a few bad spots in a few cities, it's one of the safest places in the world to live.
Yeah, our history is kinda fucked up, but whose isn't? Bad people do bad things. Name one country in the world that doesn't have fucked up moments in their history.
I just don't understand all the pessimism and self-hate that Americans seem to have lately.
