I would think that it would be one of two things that cause this.
1) plain old American arrogance
2) a very "small" world view caused mainly by spending too much time in
ones own back yard and not having enough contact with the outside world.
America being as big "physically" speaking as it is I wouldn't be all that
surprised to find out that 80% of its population has never been out of the
country. That doesn't include Canada or Mexico. I'm refering to off the
continent adventures and such. Its surprising how different the outlook
and attitude of the Europeans is from that of the Americans. Being an
American myself the difference between the European and American world
views is sometimes startlingly great.
Just my two cents...
