The Day After Tomorrow

What is it about Americans who love to see America humiliated?
My experience of TDAT:
Silly science parading as real science. I think they used the same team of top scientists who gave us Godzilla v Rodan
Political speeches for the masses "Oooh, isn't America bad! Wasting all those natural resources."
The audience roaored with approval. Manhattan audience. I suppose none of them run air conditioners, drive gas consuming autos or take flights on fuel consuming airplanes. It's all the fault of the US president and VP who won't do anything about global warming. The Kyoto Accords are brought up as if it's some new deal, to be blamed on the Cheney look-alike VP, and by association, Bush. yet it's the same accord Clinton and Gore negotiated yet couldn't get ratified. In hindsight, the negotiators confess it was not a good treaty anyway. As the rest of the world is largely ignoring it, why is the US to blame?

When the US needs to ask Mexico to permit refugees the audience cheered, as if the US hasn't been the biggest net welcomer of immigrants in the history of the modern world. Haven't we been generous to nations facing disaster scenarios?
Why should anyone, especially US citizens, cheer when we're the ones needing aid? I don't know the answer, but they did cheer, and that was disheartening. When a nation starts to loathe itself it's time to check the national pulse.
One last thing. the destruction of Manhattan brought 9/11 back to me. I don't like seeing manhattan building falling down.
