Is the cheerleading culture the cause of so much sheep-like behavior in American...

...society? Almost every American high school has cheerleaders. The rest of the school is encouraged to cheer for their guys against the other guys.

Rah rah rah, sis boom bah, we're the best, so ha ha ha.

Has the cheerleading culture blinded Americans to the fact that many other Western democratic nations are appalled at the view of the world held by some Americans?

Has the cheerleading culture stopped Americans from caring how they are perceived, even by their allies?

Has the cheerleading culture caused Americans to stop thinking for themselves?

Example: A Saudi Arabian living in Afghanistan bombs an important American business site, tragically killing thousands of innocents. The reaction is to beat the crap out of innocent Iraqis for nearly five years. Did anyone stop to think about the logic of this? Or did Americans just cheer on their president when he said it was a good idea?
