Excellent Question~!~!~!       Why do so many want to come here if we 
are so bad~?~!~?

I donut see it as what is Good or Better or Bad but what is fitting the 
need For The Moment  --  we are a much larger country than most other 
places  --  Many Countries are only State Size when compared to US.
.
EveryThing  EveryWhere  has good and bad points in this Highly Imperfect 
World so everything is subject to scrutiny and possible change.

I Learned Long Ago to Appreciate the Present  --  when in Uncle Sam's 
Canoe Club it was said that the Best Duty Station was the previous duty 
station or the one he would be transferred to  --  NEVER  the one he is 
at.       Trouble is, the current duty station becomes the previous upon 
transfer and thus a good place.       Learned right then and there not 
to be caught in that trap  --  Grass is Greener syndrome.       Part of 
our InHuman nature to Beat Ourselves Up~!~!
.
I don't sense any Anti-Americanism here necessarily  --  just an 
exercise in that Great American Tradition of being critical of WhatEver.
