As for the US ignorant thing- I guess that has been proven 10 days ago. It is so incredibly ignorant, naive and dumb that it makes me wonder how you can open that can again.
The information thing... I don`t have the impression you guys in general are too good informed. The pre Iraq war discussion showed that a lot of people in your country let themselves get duped by media campaign- something that shouldn`t be possible and happen in today's world democracy. Your administration even tried to do that with the rest of the world- just remember the tacky fake proofs they offered at the UN back then. What a huge huge shame for the US. Man, if sticking on to these villains isn`t ignorant I don't know what is then.
Hanging out your flag and repeating dumb paroles doesn`t make you a good american imo.
Pride... Everyone has a certain pride for their home country what by no means is the same as putting that country over others. At the moment I don`t see you have too much reason to be that proud over there.
Still thanks to the US ledgies that prove their pride by criticizing their own land. That would be a reason for a country to be proud of, that still a lot of people can think for themselves and stand for certain values. Unluckily you are in the minority as proven on this tuesday.
