I do think that it is wrong to generalize and say things like America did this or that "bad" thing and then move easily from such an empty generalization of the nature of Americans. It is a fault that many Americans make when judgingm, say, the French based on the actions of Jaques Chirac. When our PM, Stephen Harper, says "I am sure I speak for all Canadians" most Canadians say "Like f**k you do Harper!" (For better or worse most Canadians do use expletives when talking about politicians).
