Why do American consider themselves to be any more free than other Western people?

-----------
Mika,

I agree with you. I've never understood that. I've travelled to many places, all of them as free as the US.

Now, I haven't travelled to Afghanistan - and in that sense the US and other Western countries are ALL more free than similar countries.

Now, the US does have a very nice long record of freedom from tyranny - straight through WW II, while much of Europe didn't. To be fair, the US did put it's boys on the line and fought in that war. Now, if I were out and a buncha thugs jumped me - and some guys saw it - and ran over to help me. I'd be thanking them for the rest of my life - instead of arguing about whether I needed them to come and help me - even if it did eventually hurt my pride.

Both my grandfathers fought in WW2. My grandmother told me that when someone in the house was killed in the European war, a flag was put in the window. She would cry walking around her neighborhood and there were flags in almost every window.
