I think we as Americans have a very bipolar feeling about everything America and can be very cynical and I really thought this article would feed our cynicism.
I was pleasantly surprised and rightfully reminded about some of the greater points of our country and culture and it was refreshing... A foreigner being offered a ride from the airport without a stutter of consideration and being told "this is America, son, we help each other out"... that if the fact that the U.S. Spends as much money on defense as the whole world combined concerns you, remember that the White House would he the first call made from your country if you were invaded... I chuckled at the elevator comment... and so on.
Well done. A tad too simple, but makes for a nice light quick read.
