   My tribe is better than yours just because it's mine.  Welcome to the   
   beautiful world of WWI.   
      
   Guess what, the world is full of countries that are not governed by   
   dictators and where people don't live in poverty. Most of them actually   
   qualify for most respect that the US.  The have respect for their   
   neighobrs and don't go invade and install or support dictatorships in   
   other countries.  And they don't condone torture.
