^^^It might be arrogant, but that doesn't make it incorrect. Unfortunately, it is a view that is not shared by as many people, world wide, as it once was, including our own president, and THAT's a shame.

Why pick at his expression of grief-induced sentiment if you're not looking for a fight with your best ally? He did not say America was the only hope (or that Brits were any less a source of hope) for a better world, either. Nor did he say that America was perfect. Given the state of world affairs, I think you might have better use of your time and energy than to say such a thing.
