It appears as if the producers of this rubbish intentionally ignored anyone in respectable dress (professionals) or anyone looking like they had any self respect or engagement with the world whatsoever. In typical slanderous BBC"ish" fashion, the reporters have intentionally skewed the feature so their subjects (and an entire country's populace) appears stupid. Stupid is everywhere people. Apparently, so is bigotry. America has no monopoly on either. Why don’t they actually ask someone who doesn’t look like a high school drop out?

I hope so too, that they change their attitude. But I have to say, most of the Americans are really nice. It's not the majority, as I experienced.

With the rise of the EU and China, as well as our own losses during the last few years, there is a growing urgency to learn more about these things. I hope so, anyway!

Best example is the Tsunami, where they spend the most in total http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/dis_fun_com_to_aid-disasters-funds-commited-tsunami-aid But comparing to their population, they were on the second last place of the top 22 countries http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/dis_fun_com_to_aid_pergdp-commited-tsunami-aid-per-gdp Not so good. :( Also your statement, that the US is paying 22% of the UN budget every year, which is $3 Billion, is totally correct and I'm honestly don't know where would the UN be without the USA, probably barely exist. But when I confront you with the number $276 Billion, which was spent 2005 for military, you might think $3 Billion isn't so much at all. It's just a two day military expense! Numbers can be manipulating and showing something positive if they stay alone. But can be eye opening when you compare them! BTW, the $276 Billion are your tax! Oh, I forgot, our tax, I pay it too. :) Hey Casey,

Perhaps if more of them could find Indonesia on a map we could've donated more to the tsunami victims than we did (more than twice the amount of any other country) http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/rls/24236.htm Or we could just continue to pay 22% of the UN's budget every year. Roughly a quarter of their budget is paid every single year by the US... and it doesn't really have much benefit for us here in our little box. If we pulled out, it would collapse on itself. Then who would illegally scam the world with the Oil-for-Food program? (among other non-investigated travesties). Those stupid Americans.
