If you're one of those people who think that the USA is better than every other country at everything, stop reading and click 'Delete' now. This will offend you greatly.

For the rest of us, it is a sobering look at America from the point of view of an American who has lived in many parts of the world.

"Imagine you have a brother and he’s an alcoholic. He has his moments, but you keep your distance from him. You don’t mind him for the occasional family gathering or holiday. You still love him. But you don’t want to be around him. This is how I lovingly describe my current relationship with the United States. The United States is my alcoholic brother. And although I will always love him, I don’t want to be near him at the moment."
