Is it normal i feel frustrated that americans can get away with anything?

Sorry if my english is not good.

I am from vietnam and my granparent was exposed to agent orange during the US invasion. My mother's older brother died from a cancer tumor when he was 31, her younger brother had a deformed hand since born and could not use it. Doctors said I have increasing risk of cancer especially since there are parts of the land near town that are still contaminated with the agent. Only now 40 years later are americans starting to clean up their own thing. They never were punished by UN or anything like that, even though they started the war and more than a million vietnamese civilians have been attacked by agent orange.

I was very frustrated so I started researching history, and I discovered that americans have been doing stuff like this for a long time and always get away with it, no consequences. The japanese leaders were executed during war but no one was punished for the civilians fried to a crisp by the atom. Native indian americans are almost completely dead and killed off yet no one mentions this in movies and stuff, even though historians say that more died that in the holocaust of jewish people. Even now I hear about americans complaining about iran, but apparently the only reason that there is islamists in power is because US removed previous head of state in coup in 1953. Even obama gets the nobel peace prize and orders drone attacks that kill civilians every week.

So why do US always get away with anything, there is no justice. The winners write history I guess. Am I right to feel this way?

    Sure, bad things come from wars and some things are regrettable, but you fail to look at the billions of dollars in aid Americans send out each year. While America is the richest country, it is also one of the most generous.

        People's Republic of China (to be specific)

        Huge population
        Great respect
        Dominant in electronic hardware
        Seems all doctors etc are Chinese these days!

        Basically people like the Chinese, whereas the US is generally disliked.

        The US has a huge deficit
        The gun control is out of hand (actually its just plain dumb)
        Religion although supposedly 'separate from state' seems to have a idiotic dominance
        Strangely people don't respect arrogance, even India men are more respectful!
        Funding seems to be misplaced, not looking ahead anymore
        Civil community issues (rich/poor black/white individuals/gangs)
        Many people don't want to visit America anymore because TV always shows massive crime, pollution and corruption!

        But that's just off the top of my head. Just rambled as a thought about 'why'

    If it's any consolation I was against the war, and I have several Vietnamese friends.

    hiroshima nagasaki bombing were caused by IMPERIALISM
    assimilation of natives were caused by IMPERIALISM

    IMPERIALISM causes wars becuase goverment leaders are too GREEDY. A bad leader makes a bad country.

    theres ALOT of corrupt bad terrible greedy leaders.

    Guys america is not the only country but it probably did the most damage. Poor innocent viatnamese civilians were killed and america dis not get punished. When two countries are in war either both should be punished for the amount of civilians killed or none should be punished. Its only fair like that
