I've been through more than 50 countries and don't find people in other countries to be the Illuminati they like to portray themselves as. They claim that we're naive because many Americans aren't intimately familiar with other countries...fine, but does it make more sense that someone from America would be familiar with, say, Namibia, or is it easier for someone in Namibia to be familiar with the world's most powerful nation, America, the nation with the most pervasive culture, America? So much of this is jealousy and resentment of American power, not true naivete on the part of Americans.
Bingo! Exactly.
They also forget that we are a melting pot... and that Americans can encounter many cultures right here.
