It's curious about Bill Gates - no way can he be a good guy but the way his money could be used was if it was seized for his crimes

ETA: People often say why should 'God' be concerned over the happenings in the US when heinious things go on elsewhere around the world, and throughout history really. The difference to my mind (and I'm a Brit not American even though the last 5 years I've been so involved in this I feel as if I am and he's my Prez - lol I have to remind myself sometimes that I'm not. Heh I know more about your politics than I do my own now.) Anyhoo...

The US is the only Nation that explicitly enshrines that ANY rights and freedoms man has have been granted by GOD alone. NOT MAN. They are inalienable because of that, and cannot be infringed on or taken away by other men.

That's pretty unique. I don't think even the Magna Carta from which the Constitution is derived explicitly stated that. Mans 'inalienable rights' come exclusively from God and cannot be removed, and that makes the US special for acknowledging and enshrining it in the Constitution IMO.
