I understand exactly how you feel. In the last 60 years I have watched my country go from a respected world partner to a bully with no care for it's own or any other people on earth, if there is no financial incentive.
Be it Africans dying of Ebola or Syrian children dying in the revolution, the US will not lift a hand to help if it won't bring the elite rich some reward.
The fact that a literal moron like Dubya could be elected as president, not once, but twice, still has the world laughing at the stupidity of the American people. They see us as a nation with no self respect.
As a child, growing up in SF, we didn't lock our doors and a stroll down any street in this country was not an invitation for someone to mug us.
I am ashamed to be an American and when asked where I come from while traveling, I often avoid the answer and just say, "That boat out there at anchor."
IIN to feel sad when thinking about my country?
