They're responsible for heinous crimes and threaten the American way of life. Even now we live in their ever growing shadow.

Nah you talk to a goon 500's years from now and they'll think of America in the same way we think of alexander's empire or the mongols. Joining the club of empires that very quickly rose and fell but defined the era they lived in by the mere fact of there rise.
You don't even have to be an American exceptionalist to understand this. Quite the contrary. America didn't earn it's place in history but it got very very lucky and landed in a situation where it had half of the world's industrial output for a short period of time.

It will be impossible to talk about the 20th century or developments that followed without talking about america's role in it, for better or worse.

Unless of course you're referring to the possibility that humanity won't exist in 100 years due to climate change. In which case America becomes even more remarkable for it's role in ending human civilization. But we'll leave that one for the roachmen to pontificate on.

Incredible! You are very smart
