Not all societies are progressing at the same speed. Check out America's friend and ally Saudi Arabia, for instance. Or Pakistan.

Slavery in the US was legal for 50 years longer than in European countries. Slow, huh. The genocide of Native Americans was as brutal and complete as any in recent times.

Any country which bills itself as richest the earth has ever seen and doesn't have universal health care for 48 millions of it's citizens, which spends trillions on unprovoked aggression against a country half a world away, and which routinely violates internation agreements regarding war crimes and human rights does not have room to be critical of others.

The US could be a great force for good, and has been in the past. It was a wonderful example to the ROW. Not at the present.

People would be better off working for reform at home than criticizing others.
