As a narrow minded young man I used to think Americans were dreadful people
Then I met some and they all turned out to be, as you say, lovely, generous people.

Same here, I'm something of a 'reformed smoker' in my enthusiasm for them and their beautiful country.
Even the more sinister aspects of their society seem to me to come from a naive self-belief in their own righteousness (much like this country in the Victorian age) rather than some inherent 'evil'. They genuinely believe in the 'American way' and for all that is of course cretinous, it's an honest belief. They really lack our cynicism, much like children, and it's actually quite endearing.
