Oh I agree with you. It is very arrogant. Just as the U.S. idea of they hate us for our freedom is arrogant. Nah, they hated how the U.S. culture was invading their culture and our military was invading their lands. That's what they hated.

It is fascinating to see the direct opposition in cultures though. I just found the perspective fascinating. We so seldom get alternative views on things we do not even notice. Many, maybe most Americans seem to have no desire to truly understand why other cultures view us the way they do. Who is right is a totally different thing. That said, I do value the American attitude of "I don't care what you think".
