We're also better off and have more opportunity than most nations. At least the rules are known by all, and subject to change if enough people decide to do it.
Also everybody who resents us, or fears that we'll meddle in their foriegn policy/military adventures, takes cheap shots at us from the gallery. Kind of like hating on Tom Brady... it's popular, but he doesn't care, and it doesn't change the fact that he wins.
