Firstable, my apologies for the CAPS. I've tried to keep quiet for too long
now and I just had enough of this anti-American senseless garbage all over.
It's not only by the means of internet access but thanks for the site.
Indeed, let's review your source of data facts:
Demographics
a.. According to IDATE, 9.8% of the population worldwide had access to the
Internet in 2002, up from 7.9% in 2001. IDATE estimates that the figure will
reach 15.8% by 2006. The company also provided Internet penetration levels
by international regions in 2002: (estimate for 2006 are shown in brackets)
a.. North America: 66.7% (81.0%)
b.. Western Europe (including Scandinavia): 37.9% (51.4%)
c.. Eastern Europe (including Russia): 7.0% (15.4%)
d.. Asia-Pacific: 6.4% (13.3%)
e.. Latin America: 5.4% (9.1%)
f.. Africa/Middle East (including Turkey and South Africa): 1.1% (3.1%)

This is all besides the fact that Americans have been to more foreign
countries and visited their cultures more then any citizen in the planet.
Besides that (hate it or not) America is the most culturally diverse country
in the world where even foreign American haters living and working here have
the freedom the express their views without legal reprisal. Let me know if
you need more reasons to believe that Americans are the most informed (and
nicest) people out there.
I know that what I say may not be in a classic American politically correct
style. However, while I know hatred my obscure reality, I believe it's time
for a "reality check."
My regards Mr. Per
Santiago
