Edited link so it doesn't go in under my name. Lol.
My kid's teacher's son's famous for this, been touring the US and Canadian talk shows on it (CNN, for instance):

IOW: They don't give a shit about US, why should we give a shit about them? Also, shameless plug for my kid's teacher's son and his research!
Makes perfect sense, really. They don't need to care, so why do it?
