With the conclusion that Americans are tired of costly (lives and debt) and worthless wars, I believe it vastly oversimplified to toss in that we have been a blight around the world. Thousands of truly good deeds are being done by Americans around the world everyday.

As difficult as it may be to extricate the greedy, and the wasteful policies that American government and corporate entities infect the world with (false economics being a perfect example) from the equation, it's misleading to ignore the Americans that have left the comfort of home to improve the lot of countless fellow humans.

I'm proud to know some of these fellow Americans. You'll never see them on CNN.
