I'm an international flight attendant for a major US carrier. I make 4-6 transatlantic or transpacific trips per month, and travel extensively on my own time as well.

Having been to many "third world" spots on the map, I can safely say that America certainly has its fair share of cities that are dangerous, ugly, or dirty enough to compete. Likewise, there are many countries that are much cleaner and safer than our own, that have 100% literacy (we certainly don't!), that have less poverty and better education. We aren't the worst, but it would be a fallacy to assume that we are the best.
