USA is the most powerful country in the world yes. That is indisputable, but that does not mean its the best.

USA is a very great country that has many many things going for it but lets not discount other countries.

"Everyone has the opportunity to improve their life." That can be applied to many countries. In fact many countries have higher living standards according to the UN. I think the UN is more authoritative then you, no offense meant.

Someone linked to an article that references a UN study done in 2004. I'll quote it.

"The 2004 UN Human Development Index, released Thursday, put Canada in fourth place, behind Norway, Sweden and Australia. The United States ranked in 8th place, and the United Kingdom in 12th." The US is ranked very highly but it isn't the highest. Last time I checked the most recently updated figures the US still was being outpaced. Though I admit it will be interesting to see how the current economic crisis changes the list.

"USA has democratic government" As do most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc. Having an elected government ministry isn't a new concept, hell it isn't even an American invention, read up on ancient Athens.

"best technology" Arguably correct, especially in regards to military application. Although countries like Germany and Japan are on a similar level.

"best hospitals are in the USA" That may be, but so many americans are without health care that it doesn't matter. Many countries have significantly higher average life-spans.

"Hollywood movies are in the USA" Well considering hollywood is in america rofl. Europe has a vibrant film industry. England for example has very high standards in regards to its Television shows, especially comedies. Infact Hollywood isn't even the biggest film industry in the world in regards to film output and ticket sales, India is.

"USA is the best in the world at most sports." In general yes, but China won the last olympics and countries like Australia are better on a per-capita level. So its definitely not a clear cut victory. It also depends on what sports you mean. The US isn't very good at soccer which is the most popular sport in the world for example.

"we are blessed by God" LOL. Don't you know Christianity is widely popular in other countries as-well, not to mention it originated from the middle-east.
