The world's sole surviving superpower, and its most fabulously successful democracy, could not be unarrogant if it tried. But the arrogance is complicated. In the American mind, arrogance coexists with a surprising, even squirming self-effacement--a perverse impulse, for example, to think that somehow Americans may have deserved 9/11 for their sins (notably, the sin of arrogance!).
