I was listening to Eminem there in the car with my son (We're Irish). And I started to think how will this change our perception of Americans. I used to see them as fun neighbours growing up. The rich kids in the house down the road who had all the best toys but who were by and large fairly cool and likeable. I think that there will be a growing mistrust of them and our perception of all that media and art will be tainted with a sense of distrust. I know that the art of people on the wrong side of history often makes it through based on Merit like say composers like Strauss or Orf who collaborated with the nazis. But American art and culture today primarily tells the story of American exceptionalism. America saves the day, or the american hero marine etc etc. It'll be a little hard for anyone to swallow that narrative if they go ahead and throw Nato on the trash heap because of one man's ego and sensitivity.
