Let me change the way your phrased this.

While I am concerned that my nation is not the best it can be, most countries are ever the best they can be.

I am sad that we are killing the people of another country and wish it were not so and yet I am happy that many of the citizens there now see freedom of expression to a greater degree than they have been allowed in years under Taliban rule. What of the women who are now free to persue carrers, doctors who can only now heal their fellow citizens and teachers and artists who can do their jobs for the first time. Of these results, I am duly proud. I am also proud that there may be a greater freedom of religion there so that the artifacts of other cultures are no longer destroyed there. All is not yet well, and we may have made some mistakes, but we have also done some good. If you see only black and white, then I feel sorrow for you, the world musst be very disapointing place.
