Well, the intent of the charming video is clearly to put down America
I really wish people would try harder to distinguish between America, Americans, and the U.S. Government. They aren't the same thing and there are plenty of us who are proud to be American but whom disagree with many actions of our government. I'm proud to be American because (among other reasons) I have the right to disagree with my government and speak openly about it. The video is obviously a propaganda piece (although one that I in some ways agree with), but its faulting our government not you or I personally.
This distinction is an important one as more and more foreigners seem to be developing an aversion to US politics.
