Thats why everyone is so damn bitter/jealous
BTW, pretty funny, I am a Bush fan though, Kerry would have been a worse choice.
Most intelligent?! That's fucking bullshit. What exactly do you base that on? America has a small intellectual elite, but then again, so does every other civilized country which gives its citizens an opportunity to study, learn and develop. However, if you look at the statistics, you will see a very clear pattern that indicates most western European countries have a more highly educated general populace. I'm not trying to come off as arrogant or anything, but rather stating the truth.
And about being the most generous.. well, that can be debated. Bush was very, VERY stingy when it came down to helping the victims of the Tsunami tragedy, for example. I'd say that your nation has foresight, and it mostly gives out help when it knows it can benefit from doing so in some way. And don't even try and give me any shit about your "righteous" assault on Iraq to help the nation from the clutches of the cruel dictator and bring lasting peace to the region. Those were the PR reasons, not the real ones. America has never gone to war if it hasn't had major issues of power or profit involved.
Well, you are the richest nation, I'll give you that. But you still fall short of several other countries in the international statistics in overall well-being (measured as a sum of several factors).
