Many people in this world have advanced judgmental comments when it comes to America. It's actually quite miserable to witness unprincipled statements about a nation that has so many diversities. 
I had an overheated conversation with an old friend about American foreign politics once. He had clear statements that America only invades countries for their own benefit, and he had this rage against the ruling American president.

When USA plays soccer many people around the world smiles and sometimes actually laugh of them, thinking; They can only run with a football in their arms.... I think such preconceived comments comes because the U.S have such a short a history in soccer. 

The Typhoon Haiyan is hitting the Philippines hard. Thousands of people have died. 

People are without, homes, water, food and the infrastructure is down. It’s a terrible disaster for hundred thousands of people – maybe millions, no one really knows the status yet. According to Red Cross, Americans was (once again) the first ones to take action to help the people there. I wonder sometimes where my country is in situations like this. We have a lot of money, but our help seems to come very late compared to the Americans….

We can still see signs from the Tsunami who hit Thailands wetstside big, back in 2004. But the people in Thailand are just magnificent and friendly. 

I had to, of course, ask them about USA, and I recieved some really fantastic answers that you can read in my new  book.
