And I've never said otherwise. It was the idea and the ideal that set us apart. The country itself, and the people, are no different than any other country or people. What makes the difference is what we strive for. It started with the Enlightenment in England and France. They thought it, we put it into motion and then it spread back across to Europe. Today we in the Western World (and parts of the Eastern) believe in the same things. No, we don't practice it as well as we should, but we don't practice it any less, or any more, than we ever did.
