Sorry for taking so much time to reply. FAWS is right, I'm not saying Americans hate foreigners. It's more like a blindness or deafness. See my link above to the "amazing and unique experience" guy. The ethical angle of the situation simply doesn't occur to him, it's as if Iraqis were videogame characters. America's fighting an aggressive war and killed umpteen thousand people?... uh, okay man, I got a career to advance and I wanna go someplace exotic, like expand my horizons and shit. I've never heard anything like that from Russians or anyone else except Americans, though I'd be the first to agree that we Russians are quite nationalistic.
