If people should feel shame for events in the past, they also ought to take pride in past achievements. It is exactly my point that overall pride ought to outweigh shame.
I made my "dad" comment because the blame game is so expansive that the only version of the US which would not be regarded as responsible for a problem in Central America (and probably in Latin America for good measure) is in the realm of fiction, some kind of benevolent father figure which looks after the little ones.

You should be ashamed of what has gone on in the name of the US in Central America. My mother was there in 1980 during some bad times. She was on a literacy campaign. The peasants described U.S. soldiers training fascist troops on how to torture,mutilate, rape and kill in the name of stopping 'communism'. A more humble,Christian and communal group of people is hard to find....no they are not the Dad. They are Freddy Krueger.
