mea culpa culpa culpa

I have the impression that the media delights in reporting missteps by our government. I don't know why this penchant to magnify whatever the United States does wrong and tred lightly on errors by the U. N. or foriegn governments exists. Is it a "gotcha" syndrome, or a feeling of guilt for the wealth of the United States. I do know that it is a disturbing phenomenon. The fact that the guilt will prove evanescent with the awakening dragons of Asia is not comforting
