Does this really surprise all of you? In America we live in a virtually strifeless society with good standards of living. We live on a continent that geographically isolates us from most of the rest of the world. We are the most powerful nation in the world economically, culturally (no judgement of good or bad) , and militarily. That makes the average American rather content and not interested in stirring the pot. Americans have no reason to concern themselves with the rest of the world - for good or for bad.

Please don't misunderstand me - I am not in "favor" or happy with the results of this poll - just trying to point out that this information is not surprising.

What does it say positively about Americans - to me it says that we are not interested in running your countries, or dictating how you should live. Contrary to popular belief on this forum - Americans are not looking to take over the world - they are looking to live their lives with the least worry possible. If you need us to be more concerned with your situation then maybe you should take a look at your own house.

I will let you all expound on the numerous bad points about Americans that this poll makes.
