Is the USA the Greatest Nation
Platypus:
Greatest, yes. But best? I'd have trouble justiying putting it in the top 10.
minionofmidas:
It's just the largest of us rich and mighty countries...
Although "just" isn't quite the right word.

There should be no doubt that we are the greatest country on the face of the Earth.
Right... ::)
Personally, I would put the UK before Britain. And my home country IS my home country, of course... ;) I love most Scandinavian countries actually.

Absolutely. The land of opportunity and freedom.
You can go to Britain and get that. You can go to Australia and get that. You can go to Canada and get that.
True...but America isn't the strongest economy on the face of the Earth for no reason. Granted, our country is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, but I feel one of the reasons why America is the land of opportunity is that anyone with a dream or idea can turn that idea into reality. There are no barriers to success. The entrepreneurial spirit that is present in this country is like no other. Our freedoms are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and a Constitution that has been a model of liberty for the whole world.
Akno, what is your favorite country? (if it isn't the USA)
The USA is my FAVORITE country, yes, but I am not convinced it is the greatest country. We have many poor people, many people without health care, if you compare our schools to Japans or many other countries, look out.

No, the United Kingdom is of course!
