Hi Trish and welcome to the Libertarian Website. As you're obviously new here, it is probably worth pointing out (as 24601 did on his "Anti-American quotes" message) that, while socialists often fail to distinguish between countries and governments, libertarians certainly do, and it is governments we (generally) don't like; not countries. How does this relate to your message? In each question in your quizz, you asked "Which country is responsible for [insert your flavour-of-the-month atrocity here]?" And presumably you thought the answer was the United States. But, in fact, it was the US Government that perpetrated the crimes you listed, not the United States. Most Libertarians will agree with you (if this is what you are arguing) that the US Government is a source of evil - so there's not really any significant disagreement here. But are the freedome-loving people's of the United States evil - well, that is an extremely different proposition, and one you are yet to argue.
