Funny, I would say the same thing about you Americans and your almost Victorian superiority complex. And unlike my ramblings here, you have the blind conviction and force to implement them.<br /><br />I need look no further than your frantic and ongoing hunt for dissenters of all sorts. Like communists, whom your looked for within your own ranks, then destroyed entire countries presumably to save the world by forcing through the "right" doctrine.<br />The US constantly disregards the opinions of other nations. You let your quasi-religious ideals control science, foreign aid. Like how people in Africa die every day while you ponder exporting Christian family values. How generous.<br />Just the other day the US tried to stop aid for the Beijing declaration unless they could get their anti-abortion agenda into a U.N. plan that involves more than 100 countries. They joined with the Vatican but was snubbed by even the most hard line middle-east nations. Ironic. And arrogant? Ha!

Your passion seems to be expressed by a couple of sentences:

1) The world is going to hell in a handbasket.

2) It’s the fault of the U.S.

Not too original.
