Let's see...smug (adj) - contentedly confident of one's ability, superiority, or correctnessWell...not so much individually. But collectively (warts and all), in a country founded on such high principles and defended without compromise?Yeah, pretty much.
principles not honored. aggression rather than defense.all equal misplaced confidence.
Agree to an extent, which is why I mentioned "warts and all". But these warts don't (yet) properly represent the whole. If we abandon those principles to a sufficient degree, I'm with you, no reason for confidence then.
