We ain't missin' on purpose, gnu. Americans are no better or worse than everyone else. If we think our home is the cat's meow, so does everyone everyhere. We are brash and boastful and, occasionally boorish but we are generous and caring. When tragedy strikes, anywhere in the world, we offer support and aid through our government and through private appeals.
Our country waas the first to change governments peacefully and we have been doing so since the election of Thomas Jefferson. We even brought down a president through investigative reporting. We are, flaws and all, a country of laws, in spite of the constant struggle with the wise guys who want to skirt those laws.
And, may I add, when individuals or states insult us and our beliefs, we don't storm their embassies and kill their diplomats.
