Think of our independent states as independent countries.

But in fact they are not...the different states are still American with American culture and only regional variations.

Did I say it was bad ? On the contrary I think it is laudable and wish it were more apparent here. (Unfortunately patriotism here is so often seen as 'racist' !!)
My post was not intended as criticism...just an observation as to why America seems oblivious to the problems of rest of the world.
