response to stereotypical middle east

Rb and jg bring up a very good point they describe the weakness in our society. Our constant ridicule of other countries reflects poorly upon us and our country. They gives us a mentality that we are better than everyone else. Although our country is quite powerful and runs fairly well. We do have a lot of "kinks in the chain'. Our country is not perfect like we all like to believe. The United States is a good country but for it to achieve greatness we should not ridicule people that are not as fortunate. "To much is given, much is expected" we as Americans and as the United States have to follow this creed. The United States has given us, as the people, many opportunities for success. We should not put down other countries and their people that do not have this fortune that we do.
