I swear so many people in the United States forget there are other countries

It has long been a fact of human nature that the people of the leading nation think of themselves as "exceptional": literally, above the rest and the elite. The Romans did it. The British had a turn, And the French still carry a little in their souls. So its not so much that Americans dont know there are other countires. Its just that other countries dont count unless they have something America wants, like oil.
