Speaking of PSY and Things Wrong With America!:

Check out this feisty comment by Glenn Greenwald with the Guardian:

The PSY scandal: singing about killing people v. constantly doing it

Americans would benefit from less outrage at anti-US sentiment and more energy toward understanding why it's so widespread

He suggests a lot more than I have the balls to. He's also got a great George Washington quote i'll take the liberty to cut and paste:

Actually, I'll also include a paragraph of his sentiments, for those too lazy to click a hyperlink:

If you want your country to rule the world as an aggressive and militaristic empire, then accept the inevitable consequence of that: that there will be huge numbers of people in the world who resent and even hate your country for that behavior. Don't cheer while your country constantly kills, invades, occupies, and dominates the internal affairs of countless other nations - and then expect to be liked. Immorality aside, producing this reaction is one reason not to do such things. This kind of imperial behavior, inevitably and in every era, generates extreme levels of animosity and, ultimately, returned violence. That's why George Washington, in his 1796 Farewell Address, warned against all of this:

"[N]othing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. . . .

"Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests."

... Sorry, GW.
