I think the American people are badly served by propoganda devices used by their leaders. Faced with a criticism of American (usually foriegn) policy, the American establishment will reject the criticism as 'anti-americanism', and not answering the substance of the issue.
I have been thinking along similar lines to you in the last couple of days. I came to the conclusion that many Americans are genuinely embarassed about Bush. Unfortunately American elections have among the lowest turnout in the democratic world. So as long as Americans vote, the world will cheer when the Americans piss on the bushes!
