I agree that's one perfectly valid way to interpret it, and I can see how articles like this can have that effect. It does seem like the author had something else in mind, though.

Perhaps, but I think it's important to be aware of the steady stream of "ok America pat yourself on the back again" articles that run every day. They are ridiculous.

edit: and most involve quaint stories about the third world like this one, often pertaining to women's rights.
