Well, what you've done there is not read the whole thread, I guess.
For example:
[QUOTE=dobster]...The truth is, your president seems to have induced a state of heightened fear in my country. Indeed, my first thought after the 9/11 atrocities was "Oh sh*t! What will Bush do?! He could have us in a holocaust by the evening!"...[QUOTE]
The point thats been made is that YOUR country's actions can have a detrimental effect on the stability of world peace in a more dramatic way than other countries. If that's a misguided perception, I suppose you have to have lived outside The States to have reached that perception.
The domestic way your country works isn't something people are trying to change, just the international way it influences things. If it seems blinkered, sorry.
(EDIT: don't know why 'quote' isn't working)
