i don't understand the relation of american / anti-american and groupthink. wouldn't any relation to a statement or series of statements be inherent linked to groupthink one way or the other? if the concern is some sort collectively decided upon reaction to all situations as being in step with, or directly contrary to a notion of nationalism and identifican as 'american,' then.... i don't get the criticism.
i'm leaving the discussion of logic and debate and opinions for another thread. that could be a serious threadjack, i think
