It is not only the members of this forum, it is a world-view. This is due to the longstanding US rhetoric that it is the 'straight broker' in world affairs. The United States has, for most of the 20th Century, presented itself as the moral leader of the world. Naturally, a nation that touts that moniker is going to be scrutinized in every action.
