Well, of course we think our country is the greatest, isn't that natural for people? We are a patriotic and proud people and putting this down won't change it. Speaking for myself, I like to see people who are proud of their country.

I've heard that frequently from non-Americans, and some have tried to explain it to me...I'm still not sure I get it. When has the US done things that turned out great that should have affected Europe greatly???
