Yeah, it's bad. So was Belgium in the 1800s So was Germany not too long ago. Britain has been a menace off and on since the neolithic. Malaysia, the Mughals, the Mongols, etc. Every nation goes through times when they're a menace, both to themselves and everyone else. The US has never been a particularly good nation. But it's young.

Believing it can get better doesn't mean assuming it will. I also never said it would happen tomorrow. We didn't sit around and wait for the Nazis to get better in the mid 1900s, we did what had to be done. Also, I'm Canadian, not American, so watch where you're point the "You" friend.
