Iraqi prisoner abuse

[82 GT]

I get tired of hearing people saying "America holds itself to highter standards than the rest of the world"
Don't get me wrong...I'm all American through and through but that statement is total bullshit.
If we(americans) have higher standard then why:

1) is the amount of justice one receives proportional to how much money he/she has. Any high profile case serves as a perfect example of this.

2) Why do we pour millions of dollars into foreign countries to rebuild them when we have homeless people right here in America?

3) Why do farmers destroy crops to create a loss and gain profits from that loss?

4) Why is America allowed to have as many nukes as they want but will not allow any others to have them or we threaten to "disarm" them?

I can go on and on but that's just an example.
I believe America is the best country in the world and the mightiest but we are not without our flaws.

We are not "above" abusing prisoners. We are all human beings. How can anyone say that when Americans kill each other every day?
Maybe we should spend more time fixing our own problem rather than trying to fix everyone else's.
