The prevailing attitude in foreign countries is that we are ignorant and that our actions speak for themselves. After 9/11, all Americans could do was ask why it happened. You can bet your ass that we were seen as ignorant because the rest of the country knew exactly why it happened and they didn't even live here. The people of this country are so isolated from the world that they know next to nothing about world affairs, world attitudes, or how their behavior is reflected across the globe. The election of George Bush proved that. This country is ignorant, there can be no denying it.
