We can't go around saying "screw the rest of the world, we're Americans hear us roar!" We just end up looking like a bunch of arroagnt money grubbing whores. We should care what the rest of the worl thinks of us because it not like we can secede from the planet. We are all on one planet and if nothing else we need to at least try to get along.
I know some may say well other countries don't try but all of our mothers have taught us to be the bigger person and set an example for others. Its called respect treat others the way you want to be treated. If only everyone remembered that one simple word.
