I have had many opportunities to listen to what foreigners have to say about American attitudes and policy. I have come to accept that not all American ideas are correct or good.

Why is it that "other people" suck up every resource that the US sends their way and then bites the hand that feeds it? The US has plenty of issues and its share of evil politicians, but let there be a catastrophe in where in the world and WHO is the first on the sense? So, why do we get dished for the evil we do, but absolutely no praise for the great things that the US has done? It really is discouraging!
