We wouldn't be complaining if the US had better ranking because the ranking is biased to give the US a worse ranking than we deserve. Part of it is based on defence spending. The country with the worlds largest GDP will have a high defense spending. Putting defense spending in just gives a larger country worse score. Size gives no conection to peacfulness. Large countries will also be involed in more UN peace-keeping missions. To see our reason to complain now?
