Plumb crazy... But point is that American Society cannot handle trauma well. When Pearl Harbor got bombed, it was a war against Iraq but a war against Asians. Hence, the deportation of Chinese citizens at that time. After the Vietnam war, the same applies... Every Asian citizen was seen as Vietnamese and the enemy. But was it a way against Vietnam or a war against Communism? Today, is it a war against Muslim Arabs or a war against Radical Islam/Terrorism/Jihad/Koran. The reason for what we are fighting for seems to have diluted.
Bottomline, American Society cannot handle traumatic events impose upon itself. I bet Europeans view 'US' as being cry babies.
