Gosh, the way to get other nations to like us is to agree with them and appease them and soothe them and flatter them. This does not compute.

I worked four years overseas. While I accepted the customs of the countries I worked in, and avoided criticism of them, I made no effort to hide that I was an American. For one thing, that was impossible. We are Americans. Our ways of doing things are different. Accept it. Even in a country where my racial makeup resembled most of the country, my American ways distinguished me. Such as my wardrobe choices. Such as my exercising more initiative than the average person there. Such as my being willing to get my hands dirty and do work that fellow professionals there would have assigned to a worker. It is better to accept the difference. No need to grovel whatsoever.
