The problem is that everyone has such high expectations of Americans because they portray themselves as the top of society - a view cemented by the spread of American movies and culture - then Americans are often a let down when they don't fit the 'top of society' image. The average farmer in Spain probably couldn't put a pin in Iran on a map either - but they would likely similarly believe that their home country is the best country in the world.

Man... I don't know how a discussion over Nokia hiring one guy turned into a geopolitical debate.
