But being embarrassed by the previous actions of your country doesn't equate to being Anti-American. That's like saying being embarrassed by your parents makes you anti-family. Personally I do think there were things that happened that as a country we should be embarrassed about and Inga gave some great examples. Ruffling feathers is one thing but acting like our actions have no consequences is something else entirely. But like I said, my view has been colored by my own personal experiences so I definitely understand if you see things differently than I do.
