I think you're right - to an extent. You may not deserve this. Americans might not deserve this. Any other arbitrarily defined group of people may not deserve it.
But humanity as a whole? We are a disgusting scourge on this earth, and we probably deserve everything that's coming to us. The current situation is just a reflection of overaching dynamics of greed, lies and self-righteousness that have always been with us.
I realize this is basically an absurd notion of collective reaponsibility. At the same time, we have no one to blame for our species' toxic psychopathic behavior but the species as a whole. If we had any decency left we would just delete ourselves as quietly and staightforwardly as possible.
Are we not good enough?
