"While troubling that the US would try to destroy the culture of other countries, this is not really news."
It's sad enough as it is, that throughout its brief history, that nation has done nothing but expand its borders (literally, as well as figuratively) at the expense of others, but what's even sadder is that most Americans don't really benefit from this. I actually feel sorry for them. Those people who lost their jobs when companies started outsourcing to third-world countries. Those people who had to be sent to Iraq to fight a war that should never have been declared in the first place. Those poor brainwashed people who are rejoicing about the death of some low-life terrorist leader as though terrorism ends with his death.
Some people who are passionately anti-American (we have those here, being one of the countries they invaded) mistakenly lump them all together as one huge evil entity. But a lot of them are just like most of us: part of the taxes they pay with their hard-earned money goes to helping businesses squeeze them even tighter, then convincing them that it's all for their own good.
