They are actually a noble and great nation, if only they paid attention to their constitution and realised that it was never the intention of their founding fathers to meddle in affairs that were beyond their remit.
Here's what some smart American dude said once upon a time on some forum (not pdf) somewhere:
"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities"
As I said sadly, a lot of good Americans lead by the nose by a handful of Muricans
