John's point's pertinent. Also, that so many Americans empathize with those who beat up on the goons running their country, is remarkable and evidence of the spirit that birthed the place in genocide and slaughter, through imagination and endurance, to a profound creative phase that, sadly, seems now to be stultifying with the rise of tech. They must have a very real appreciation of the world about them. What the knee-jerkers don't realize is that most of us (well, I'll speak for myself) have an enormous appreciation of what the US has given the world - its writers, scholars, and artists of all disciplines, for example. I fear bringing them up because they tend to the first fallback of those who lash out in artifice with "If it weren't for us...". They, the creative, have been the checks that have balanced the scales rather than laws abused at will.
