Most of us only want to visit and be neighbors. The international community is only dealing with the globalists amongst us, because they are the only ones who want to spend their entire energy on 'the international community'. The rest of us liked our position pre-WW II, thank you very much.

We usually tend to trust the authorities (Prez etc.). And when the authorities themselves are crooks, it is easy for us to be misguided.
But have trust in us. Once we know the truth, we act on it. Believe it or not, we are an extremely fair people. Proof? Vietnam war. It is said that the war lost in the American living rooms - Americans revolted in disgust when they saw the massacre videos on their TV sets.

The Republicans have brainwashed us into believing that the United States is the only country that really counts so we totally neglect all the rest of the countries in the world - many of which whose populations are much better off and live with a higher standard of living than we do.

Speak for yourself.
There are many things I don't know about the international community, but there are also many things I DO know.

Why do you spell so badly in the age of Spellcheck?
I guess that makes you "nieve."

Americans in general are so busy worshiping material things they don't care what the world thinks. Look at the sitcoms on TV and that is the intelligence of most Americans.

Because many, not all of them, think as Hitler, those think they are better than the rest, but the best thing is that the rest of the world knows isn't true.

Probably has much to do the the devaluation of education in America. Knowledge is strength, and lack of knowledge leads to ignorance and poor spelling.

It's not so much we're "naive". It's more like: we don't care.
To concern ourselves with the opinions and whims of the lesser nations of the world would be beneath us.
