So we should drop "many more bombs" on them?

Okay, I get it, Americans are evil, blah, blah, even though we stopped two Holocausts and helped transform Germany and Japan into civilized countries despite the atrocities that they committed.

How many other countries have won wars without demanding territorial gain and spent their own money rebuilding the countries that attacked them?

I remember reading about this. Germany and Japan lived in caves, had no language and ate all their meats raw. The United States civilized them. I believe it was a project code named "Henry Higgens."

There's quite a bit of American "territory" on Japanese soil.

Every country in the world, big or small, and including the United States, is after advancing its own interests.

So that makes us +1?

Of course, it's not like we set out to stop any holocausts, just happened accidentally on the way, but the one we caused was definitely intentional, so... yeah, definitely not even +1.

No one is saying that America is evil, they are just pointing out that not that long ago sections of western communities held beliefs that were deeply ignorant and deeply irrational but they were able to move forward without anyone dropping bombs on them.

As for mobs. Near where I live a mob attacked and set fire to a house that belonged to a pediatrician, because they heard the prefix of there job title and assumed that they were a pedophile. Mobs normally constitute the dumbest and most reactionary elements of society and I wouldnt want anyone using the latter mentioned mob to draw conclusions about the entirety of British society.
