Also, I would like it if you didn't refer to a bunch of cock slobbering assholes as this "nation." A handful of fucking useless ingrates does not a country make. The US didn't rape anybody, ya knucklehead.Tell that bullshit to David Hicks, or to Manadel al-Jamadi, or Sean Baker or any of the unfortunate Guantanamo POW's.
I realize that Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Obama, George Tenet, Lynndie England, Ivan Frederick, the crew of Crazyhorse 18, Guantanamo Bay and its staff, not to mention all the higher-ups who willingly cover up these incidents, represent only a "snapshot" of the country, but do I think they're representative of the USA? Absolutely. The UN convention against torture is black and white clear, yet Cheney, Bush, Obama, Tenet, all who are guilty of it have never faced charges, that's because the USA is officially complicit with torturing POW's.
For the record, England and Frederick got 3 and 10 years gaol sentences, pretty light sentences don't you think for gross abuse of POW's including rape, torture and murder. That's nothing compared to what Bradley Manning is facing.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
