Why don't you paint a picture for us of an "Ugly American."

We, "Ugly Americans", will then respond with a poratriat of an Ugly
Canadian
and an Ugly European.

There was a book all about "The Ugly American". Below is a short
description of the book which coined the phrase.


The Ugly American
The multi-million-copy bestseller that coined the phrase for tragic
American
blunders abroad.

First published in 1958, The Ugly American became a runaway national
bestseller for its slashing exposé of American arrogance, incompetence,
and
corruption in Southeast Asia. Based on fact, the book's eye-opening
stories
and sketches drew a devastating picture of how the United States was
losing
the struggle with Communism in Asia.



that was not the question and you appear to have neither read the book or
seen the movie.
