Margaret, you seem to have fallen for the prevailing pap you see on t.v. I am an American by choice not by birth. It's an amazing country and I am very thankful and proud to live here.

I beleive Tv journalism in this country to be of a high standard, and much of it its content is not dictated by commercial interests(ie not ruled by 'our sponsor')
I think that many Americans wrongly believe that they are 'god's gift' to the world and they will be the saviour of western civilisation - (even for those who don't want or need 'saving'.)
This sanctimonious holier than thou attitude is not condusive to popularity
