> I say that doesn't logically compute.

Not sure it's logical but I would say there are millenia of history to show the trend, and more so there is no logic or evidence to show American freedom has been in good faith (many were slaughtered satisfying manifest destiny).

FWIW I'm not anti-America. But I am anti-idealist (and as above, I see no reason to believe America idealist) since there is nothing to show ideals actually hold up. For humans to live together, it's better to acknowledge this and create "logical" frameworks rather than rely on idealism.
