Okay, let's formalize:

1) Those US citizens who seem not to care at all about their image in the rest of the world. Ignorant is the word that comes to mind.
2) Those US citizens who blame the rest of the world for thinking badly about the US. Angry and feeling misunderstood are the words that come to mind here.
3) Those who think the US should listen better, analyze better, decide better and explain better.

Equates to:
1) Those US citizens who ignore the rest of the world and are self-centered. They say: "Mind your own business. We'll take care of ours."
2) Those US citizens with an external locus of control. They start with criticizing and blaming the others.
3) Those US citizens with an internal locus of control. They start with criticizing and blaming the US.

Are you sure you're a fourth group?

>You left out my group: stop giving money and support to any other country until we get our own house in order and then when and if that is accomplished, only give when the country requests it and make sure the world knows that it was asked for.

>>Michael, as I already said, MY opinion of the US is positive, by and large. I do not belong to those Europeans who think mainly negative about the US. On the other hand, some US citizens seems not to care at all about their image in the rest of the world. Ignorant is the word that comes to mind. And other US citizens do blame the rest of the world for thinking badly about the US. Angry and feeling misunderstood are the words that come to mind here. Your tirade is an example of how this group thinks. There's probably also a third group: Those who think the US should listen better, analyze better, decide better and explain better. I think I'd be in the third group, if I were a US citizen.
