If it weren't for US doing what you claim, your ass would be wrapped in foreign (read: Japanese, German, Cuban/Russian) headgear and the official language would not be English and your mouth would not be allowed to speak the bullshit rhetoric you write.
Edumacate yourself re Sweden, boyfriend:

Its a bigger problem than you think.
Swedes are leaving the country in record numbers. THEIR own country.
Your attempts at SPIN are always just a little off, no?

Let's see, 2006-50-1956.
I can think of wars: Vietnam, Iraq, Iraq. (ok, so throw in Korea if you think that was a war, and technically, I'm not so sure Vietnam was our war, but ok).
What other wars are you talking about?
Are you familiar with Soviet history?

The United States also has a very high crime rate compared to most countries in the world. Our murder rate is the highest of all the industrialized countries in the world, and we have the highest percentage of our population behind bars of any country in the world.

A "peace-loving" country would be one like Sweden or New Zealand -- one who had kept to themselves, not invaded other countries, not started wars, and does not have a high rate of violent crime.
It's laughable to say we are "peace-loving". We are perhaps the least peace-loving of any country in the world, perhaps with the exception of a few third world countries.
Also, having police on every corner is certainly not a sign of "peace-loving". That is a sign of a violent society that needs high security to maintain order. Nazi Germany had police on every corner. Iraq currently has police checkpoints all over the place -- would you say they are "peace-loving"?? If you go to a country like Sweden, that has an extremely low crime rate, you probably will barely see any police at all, as they do not need them.

We have police and jail because we don't let citizens take care of their own problems and because we don't kill people or chop off their hands, tongues, etc. for crimes they commit.
I wonder what the penalty for bullshitting SPIN would be in these other countries that are so civilized?
