America is not the only country in the world that is arrogant and self absorbed. IMO, China is far worse on the 'self-righteous' scale, and the Middle East is far worse in proclaiming themselves to be the best and always right.
Maybe it seems this way for those who have very little real life contact with the US but America is at least able to point a finger at itself and recongize it's own flaws. It's a very transparent country so all it's mistakes are visible for the rest of the world to judge and comment on, unlike so many other countries that hide their mistakes and portray a false image to the world in order to look better and keep face.
