I did not think I was treating you as an idiot (which I think you are not BTW)
I posted that article (as I always do) because it supported my point. I was not talking about the thing you call the superiority complex. I do not really agree with that notion 100% in that I think anytime someone says America is the world leader (or whatever) some people assume it is said with that superior tone - I was explainig that I was saying it matter of factly. That is all.
Sorry for any offense.
I also agree that the richest nation has an obligation and I submit we meet that obligation in both public and personal donations and time. I mean if it were not for America, most of Europe would be speaking German (either in 1918 or 1941)
Yet, when I say that fact, people hate it. What they should be is thankful
