Sarcasm isn't meant to help. That doesn't mean it has no place. The fact is, a large number of the people and governments that criticize the US are propped up by the US financially, militarily, or both. This doesn't invalidate either point or opinion, but it does reintroduce complexity where points are boiled down to one-liners, absolutes, and sound bites.
