Less a diatribe against America than a sorrowful analysis of the ofen-imperialistic actions motivated by greed, political expediency, or willful ignorance, this book chronicles missteps from the genocide of the continent's original inhabitants to the export of toxic rap. The author winds up the book with "Ten Things America Has Done Right". Interesting, but would have been improved by a good copy editing.

What do George W. Bush, Wal-Mart , Halliburton, gangsta rap, and SUV's have in common? They're all among the hundred ways in which America is screwing up the world. The country that was responsible for many, if not most, of the 20th century's most important scientific and technological advancements now demonizes its scientists and thinkers in the 21st, while dumbing down its youth with anti-Darwin propaganda.
