Ask the Europeans, the South Americans and the Asians how they really feel. Me I accept Americans like anyone else on an individual basis, we're probably your best friends, but sometimes their rah rah crap gets to me, like in the movie under discussion. When Rev. Wright said 'the chickens have come home to roost' he wasn't far off the mark.
Robbie Burns once said
Now you'll say, I should take a look at myself, but for the most part I have no problem with the United States (most of my family came from there and half live there) but sometimes something comes along to remind me that the United States invented democracy, won both WWs single handed, and yet know jack about the rest of the world and I get a little perturbed.
