Well, Leveller, while I am not pro-American in general, I think you could find virtues in the US constitution. It is widely admired.

Again, while it has its sinister aspects, the American Entertainment industry has in some respects enriched many of our lives, and its alter ego probably gave us the protest song as an art-form. Oh, and there are Marvel comics and descendants.

And while the US legal system has many vices, there appears to be a deep-rooted attachment to the rule of law (despite the Shrub's attempts to get round it or dismantle it).

I have greatly admired the American muscle cars, although you may not. They stirred the blood in a way that more refined European performance cars did not. And of course the USA probably gave us the production line car industry, without which our horizons would be much more local.
