Point is every country has pro's and con's. Alawen started this thread as " We know we are flawed but we are trying to be better people" but instantly was attacked for being patriotic.

Actually what he said was that the USA was the greatest experiment in the history of the world. That poor american corporations (like Monsanto) are vilified while they make the world a better place. Thats it is a bright light of liberty and justice when it is the country that is single handedly responsible for most of the fascistic regimes that spawned in latin america for the last 50 years.
He said that the US stands accused of exploiting the worlds poor yet it is we who help more than any other to develop industry, education and democracy in the poorest countries. Actually if you look in latin america, its cuban doctors there and american military advisers. The US runs the IMF, which is responsible for exploiting the worlds poor, doing things in Africa like privatizing water and putting water meters.
If he said "I love america, i wish it was a better place" he wouldnt have attracted all that flak. It was really inflammatory on purpose to begin with, or naive and mis-informed to the point of ridicule, so either way... it was bound to attract this kind of reaction. Also im not saying some americans are not doing some good things around the world, its just please... with the Pravda style propaganda.
