Article that goes through an American 'anti-empire POV' history, and the news that President Trump said, "What, you think we're so innocent?' at a press conference.

I never heard that before from someone in power outside Obama, apologizing for all our shitty things we have done. That pissed me off.

Like the author states, America is not a bastion of pure goodness. Sometimes, we do shit that, from the outside, looks evil, but is in our best interests. Sometimes, we do shit that is evil, because it is on someone else's best interests. Sometimes, we do things that are good, and it is in our best interests. Sometimes, we do things that are good, and it is in someone else's best interests.

I suppose I prefer the acknowledgement that we are not the perfection of purity that we like to think, but I do not want to run around apologizing and begging for forgiveness.
