Oh, that is a verbal expression we use. It has little to do with actual shouting.

As most other countries, or when another country or the UN begs us to pull their asses out of another sling. Yes, America has not always been altruistic in our actions, but for the most part we try to be.
There is a sad unbalance to many yanks(and that is another thing not to get offended, here U.S. folk are called simply; jenkki) when they look at the UN. The United Nations are composed of all nations, bashing them is to bash all nations, including your own.
Succesful UN actions are not taken into account often, failed ones are.

Yes. And you shouldn't see it the same way I do. You should feel YOUR country is the best on the planet.
On many measurements, it is.
I despise my nations military leaders and their incompitant actions, I don't trust our Goverment, I have serious doubts about our President and I see that Parliament is a failure once more. -And I'd defend my nation against any foe.
It's OK to be critical, but must also be able to carry responsibility.
