I always find if amusing and saddening that other countries respect america's flag more than america now.

I think a lot of Americans have come to see it as a metric of political approval while other parts of the world see it as an emblem of the cultural ideals with which America has quickly and dramatically influenced the world. In regions that have seen obvious cultural growth and prosperity as a result of adopting that influence, there is appreciation. In regions that have seen little growth, and perhaps have lost some of their own culture in the process, there is resentment.
