That was a genuine response.

Down votes or upvotes whatever votes.

I'm trying to relate and understand.

I don't agree with the simplified absolutist perspective you've put forth, but I understand how you could come to that conclusion and how it would circumstantially appear to be a uniquely American endeavor.

I agree that's not a full view of America, but for the general population that only hears about the USA through conventional media, I'd say that's what most people will see and remember.

And of course this is only my perspective from my country and my neighbors may very well have a different outlook.
