I swear we are not all like this. We do our very best to be respectful and courteous when we visit other countries, including trying to make up for the damage our idiots do. We don’t all feel as if every other country owes us something. Please forgive us that the collective sense of shame, which in normal countries would help good behavior, died a violent death in 2016 (or maybe before).
