Not at all, we need to kill all the bastards. The point is that we must come to terms with our own sewage and not become obsessed with a primitive "america good, they evil" gorilla mentality.

We do piss many conservative societies off with our cultural elitism...in fact, elitism would be justified if it added value...unfortunately, being overseas quite a bit myself, I'm embarrassed by much of the pop cultural garbage we export. I've seen first hand the resentment it breeds.

we need to come to terms with that reality.

...I'm embarrassed by much of the pop cultural garbage we export.....

Do we export it or do they import it? Do we force it upon them or do they seek it out? I don't watch that garbage here at home and I am also not familiar with the elitist society you seem to see. Any examples?

How Clintonian of you. Your comment is equivalent to Clinton's, "The 9/11 victims deserved to die because America is so evil."

If people don't want our culture, they can ignore it. If people don't like our way of life, they can live their own.

Unlike many of the cultures of other countries, we don't impose ours. Others can take it or leave it.

It is the hatred and envy of the US by other cultures that is the problem.
