""Americans abroad; I have seen and heard them being assholes in other countries, and I wonder if the people in those other countries know that these assholes are not typical Americans.""

We are very aware of that Kendall. For some reason, many of those of a number of countries who travel, are prone to misbehave. Our own included, as you said.

It is because we like and respect the vast majority of USA citizens, that we concern ourselves with what should be none of our business. Nobody enjoys seeing a friend give up the strength of spirit which conquered half a continent.
