America is one such civilization, a shining city on a hill (channeling Reagan here :) whereby common people can live a life of opportunity and personal freedom without the heavy hand of an oppressor on their back.
One of America's missions for over 230 years has been to 'export' such personal freedom to the world, and we've succeeded wildly in many regions around the world. Unfortunately there are still too many hot-headed dictators and wannabe dictators around, so it isn't helpful for America that our President is one of them ...

Kenya a pro-western country? Lest we forget, Obama campaigned with Rail Odinga, who represented a party that was burning Christian churches in that country.
