However....
We saved the world from Nazis. We stymied Pax Soviet Union. We were the ingition that fired the end of Monarchies in Europe. We've kept the worse elements of world leaders in check. We've saved more lives and improved more lives than we've harmed.
We just need to do something we've never really done in our country's history: Abide by the ideals, much less the words, in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

your country did not save anyone from nazis. american corporations helped the nazis. after the war, america took nazi scientists and ss men back to the good old US of A, letting them get off scot-free from the crimes they commited
