To suggest that the rest of the world should be thankful for american over-consumerism is ridiculous. I guess we should thank them for climate change, high oil prices, the current recession and wars in the middle east too then.

Asia and Europe contribute to global warming as well in a major way. The more industrialized those nations get the worse the CO2 emissions will get. High oil prices are not just an American problem but an Asian problem as well. The American people are not to blame for the recession. Blame the banks and the community reinvestment act for causing subprime levels to go through the roof. America is not alone in the worlds problems.
