America was the closest approximation ever towards implementing a valid (albeit flawed) theory of morality applicable to the real world (Aristotelian Rational Egoism), from which to base the laws of any land. As an approximation, it was flawed but it can be corrected. This is where Ayn Rands philosophy becomes relevant.
