Fatal Conceit from The Daily Reckoning By Bill Bonner "They are jealous!" "I couldn't believe it. But I keep hearing it. Americans think that the rest of the world is jealous of them. They tell each other what a great country they have... they fly the flag all over the place... and they think that when another country causes problems or doesn't agree with them, it is because they are jealous." The person speaking was a young Belgian woman who lives in Baltimore. "Even after September 11, I heard on the news," he continued, "that the reason bin Laden had attacked he U.S. was because he was jealous. They seem to think that the reason people in other countries are the way they are is because they have failed in their efforts to be like Americans." It is a fatal conceit. It leads Americans to believe the most absurd things - that if they offer American-style institutions to foreigners, even at the point of a gun, they will take them up readily and then say 'thank you.'
