How right
The article is absolutely right. The hypocrite reaction from the american public also reflected in the polls soon after, shows the fundamental problem of USA today: The current USA is not capable of introspection and self-critic. Both prerequisites for learning and for the survival of a society. A capability, which made america the important and leading country it is now.
I personally - a european, who was born in america and lived there quite some time there - taught that Obama's public statement to the "race issue" in the aftermath, was one the most constructive and wisest statements made in our recent history to that regard.
