I didn't consider that our actual possesions qualify us as fitting the definition exactly. Too Ameri-centric, yikes.

If you want to disabuse yourself of the notion of our inherent niceness, do a little reading about the U.S. and its behavior in the Philippines from ~1899 - 1902. The
atrocities we committed there were of the same ilk as those committed by Japan in China in WWII. Truly nasty, brutal, genocidal stuff.
