*sigh* I'm clearly not a guy. At any rate, I never called it an excuse. I am merely pointing out the fact that your generalizing keeps you from seeing the bigger picture. However, I would say that the citizens of a country whose former government was responsible for one of the first genocides in history would be a little slower to pull the "you're so violent" card. I don't really feel like I am being defensive, though that might be the case. I am genuinely taken aback by your position.
FYI, if the U.S. is meant to be a "harbinger of peace," who gave it that label? Last I checked, freedom was our "thingy in quotations."
