I think quite a few Brits would quickly join the queue to push the button on France.
Your generalisation of Americans is without substance.

No it isn't. There are things far more dangerous than any democracy.
Without further qualification, your statement just sounds like anti-Americanism to me. While this is a popular sport, it is just another form of prejudice.

Can you put your finger on a globe to pinpoint Timbuktoo?
In any country as large as the US there are going to be many people who have little concept of the rest of the world, particularly if they haven't travelled. Hardly a crime. Furthermore, I suspect very few people over here know much about the USA.
As for having an opinion - I'm glad that 'all of them' have one. It would be sad if people simply didn't care.
