"The American public has completely lost the ability to assess how the rest of the world sees it. That may be ok for the xenophobic self-obsessed lot, but at the end of the day we are all part of the same world and a harm at one end of the world will eventually come back to hurt everyone." I totally agree with this, but just think it's inevitable. The vast majority of Americans don't have a passport, will never visit a foreign country, and just don't care. Our karma is our future. The American military will plow ahead under (R) or (D) administrations, and become more and more robotic.
