Britons questions described Americans as uncaring, divided by class, awash in violent crime, vulgar, preoccupied with money, ignorant of the outside world, racially divided, uncultured and in the most overwhelming result (90 percent of respondents) dominated by big business.
Most of that is true, but you could argue the same about any country in the world, not just America.
The New Orleans crisis covers most of the above statement alone.
It does make me laugh at how defensive Americans get when they are criticised though.
Oh, and Brenjan, incase you didnt realise that is a British poll and the British are currently in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting alongside American troops.
