2) we aren't the greatest country in the world, ergo can't be expected to do (xyz)

This is easy to avoid: don't appeal to American greatness in the same breath that you're castigating American failure

doesn't work if America is already "the greatest country;" but if appeal made to American creativity, optimism, industry instead...
