IMO faith in the people of this country is no more warranted than faith in the people of any other country. The people in this country merely have the good fortune to live in a huge country that has a hegemony in it's hemisphere. When people are frightened and threatened, they will sell out their government and their neighbors- not necessarily in that order. We have never been through what European countries have been through. Our population has never really been tested, not since the countries founding. I hope we never will be. But to place faith in your fellow man is a bad bet, at least by historical precedent (unless you are lucky enough to be part of whatever portion of society ends up in the majority).
