I understand that nationalistic self interest is a characteristic of all countries, but when you try to hide it and disguise it as some moral crusade against evil, well that's going over the top. Most countries didn't accept the US lies justifying the attack on Iraq. Most countries don't accept the criminal activities carried out by the US government in Guantanamo Bay.
The US has become the worlds gangster rather than the worlds policeman we had hoped for.
While some in the US may feel that's something to feel proud about, the rest of the world abhours such thuggish behaviour.
