> The US of 1945 is not the US of today. Our ethics and standards have risen significantly in the past 65 years.
This is true, but what is also true is that most of the world outside the US and EU views the West (which is something like 12% of the worlds population) as an extremely bloodthirsty and cruel culture/society (regarding external behaviour) that is the greatest threat the humanity faces today.
You want to believe that the US is ethical and good because you probably live there and like your country and people, which I can understand very well.
