Those savages in Iraq!

I am always dismayed at the Americans' attitude of "this can never happen here!" and "we're so civilized compared to these savages over there!"

Bad things, like civil wars, disturbances or food riots happen in other, less civilized countries - never in the USofA.

We Americans are simply superior, moral and ethical human beings, unlike those animals in Iraq, Iran and other places we are taught to hate and people we are taught to feel superior to...

We Americans are simply superior to most of this world's riff raff...
