It is quite clear that the US considers itself the best country in the world, and by virtue of this is entitled to tell other countries how to behave. And, if they don't agree it considers its own prerogative to impose its will upon them by whatever means it has at its disposal. This is nothing but pure hubris which is ingrained in the American psyche by virtue of winning two world wars. Prior to these wars we were an isolationist country for the most part. It's time we start be a good citizen of the world, rather than an arrogant superpower.
