Why? Many other countries offer the same liberties that the US does...as well as universal health care, efficient mass transit systems, the cultural wealth gained from millenia of history, etc...all without legions of fundamentalists trying to ram their religion down your throat, idiotic policies such as capital punishment, etc...
Of course other countries have their problems as well - there are no utopias. But I don't see any reason why the US is just so much better than anywhere else in the industrialized West. The US is ok. Not horrible, not great.
