I think the US comes across as a very righteous country to the rest of the
world, with all the good and bad conatations that brings with it.

right·eous
adj.
1. Morally upright; without guilt or sin: a righteous parishioner.
2. In accordance with virtue or morality: a righteous judgment.
3. Morally justifiable: righteous anger, righteous indignation.

"Fearless in his righteous cause."
  - Milton.

"I prefer the most unfair peace to the most righteous war."
  - Cicero.

"People must have righteous principals in the first, and then they will not
fail to perform virtuous actions."
  - Martin Luther

"Lord save us from the fury of the righteous"
  - Unknown

Anyway, I should get back to some actual network engineering and less
popcorn eating, diverting as this thread is.
