USA! USA! USA!

The United States is 49th in the world in literacy (the New York Times, Dec. 12, 2004).
The United States ranked 28th out of 40 countries in mathematical literacy (NYT, Dec. 12, 2004).
Twenty percent of Americans think the sun orbits the earth. Seventeen percent believe the earth revolves around the sun once a day (The Week, Jan. 7, 2005).

Way to miss the point. My point was that Americans can't use "Zomg if America never existed then Germans would have won WWI and WWII" argument. Sure if Africans wanted to use that fact against us that would be fine, but it doesn't affect the fact that Europe is higher in the food chain than Americans.
