I understand USA's need for heroes and propaganda after the WTC strikes, but this is still unacceptable. The constant putdowns of other nations ("only in the USA") and the glorification of the persons in charge of the cleanup, who in reality were motivated mainly by greed, are sickening from an outsider's perspective. Note that I have nothing against greed, I'm a very greedy person myself, but what I do resent is trying to hide the fact that one is greedy and pass it off as something else, "a higher calling" or whatever.
