Point taken, I too am thankful, but I'm a Muslim and believe in Jesus as a great prophet just like prophet Muhammed peace upon them all, both as servants, far from being children of God. Where does it say that "our nation" on the internet is specific to only the USA.....I'm sorry, but the Internet medium transcends all borders and contains not just "your nation" but an audience beyond your nation. When Americans finally understand that the centricity of their nation is finally over they'll finally realise that the world really doesn't revolve around them. That said, it's pretty much over for America. Having spent 15 yrs on wallstreet working at Merrill, JPM and BA, in mortgage and credit banking, i have seen the greed first hand.....it's over!
