Japan, Korea and Europe, for instance? The Philippines? We're not great. But we're better than our colonial predecessors, or their imperial precursors.

Anywhere in the middle east, anywhere in south east asia, Grenada, A dozen or so countries in Africa, anywhere in Central America or South America. But it's ok, they don't teach you these things in US schools.

The US treated the Philippines absolutely horribly and its still a basket case today.

South Korea for most of its post WW2 life has been a totalitarian dictatorship.

Europe was already civilized and fairly democratic before US occupation.
