Many Americans tend to have this selfish attitude that everything revolves around us and that everyone else should do as we say. And here it is, all displayed in this single comment left by some moron on TheHill.com story about North Korea.

Thank goodness US military leadership doesn't see the complexities of North Korea the same way as some keyboard warrior in Podunk, Iowa (no insult to Iowans, if there are any here Smile  ).

Republicans forever stuck in the 17th century . Thank goodness few are insane enough too actually carry out this insane plan.

There's a lot of history behind why others in some countries hate us. It's a bit deeper than a social-media post.

I've slept in 72 countries. Not one single one was 100% pro- or 100% anti-US. Just like everywhere there were different opinions about this country, but in every single country I got a warm welcome and had a lot of fun.

Frankly the only thing that has pissed me off about America recently . Is Trumps arrogance that the world owes America . Or somehow America is at disadvantage .  Or that America deserves gratitude . That pisses me off .

We would never think that way . At no point  have we every assumed the world should be grateful to us .

I suspect people in other countries feel it is.
I mean, seriously. we elected Donald Trump as the president.

We. Elected. Donald. Trump. As. The. PRESIDENT.

My count is not that large by a long shot, but I've lived in countries that were sullen-to-hostile towards us and not once did I experience personal disrespect. The folks where I was understood the difference between my nation's history and my own outlook.

I still understand why they shake a fist at us in many cases, but they never once shook a fist at me.

I didn't. And neither did a majority of American voters.

I refuse to bear that guilt, even as I have to deal with the fallout of his election.
