I also find blind cynicism and distrust in the nation's leaders to be rather disgusting, and there seem sto be a plethora of youth who would rather endlessly condemn their home states than even try to understand the reasons for the things that we do.
Loyalty is a virtue -- disloyalty isn't. So I would prefer people who have more of an inclination to be loyal to their own states and to understand the pespective of their own nation than to fall victim to vain exoticism and perceived intellectual thinking (Marxism is the opiate of the teen-agers).
