We in the US should thank our lucky stars that massive and endemic corruption which is rampant overseas is not present here in the United States. I have long since lost the idea that the rest of the world will ever modernize and institute the rule of law.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, but I think corruption has taken its toll on the United States. Maybe not to the same extent as other countries, but there is certainly room for improvement.
