It was late, I was very tired and perhaps I didn't express my views as well as I should have. I tried to make it very clear that I in fact didn't find the criticisms of the chants troubling, and that in some ways I could even understand them.

Those were the words of the parent comment, not my own, and that is what I took issue with. With regard to your second point I can understand why countries may find the chants of USA off putting.
