It's difficult or even impossible to feel shame or animosity towards an entire nation. I can understand a feeling of shame, or even hatred towards members of our countries decision makers.

Typical scenario after a national event :

This does not represent us or our country, or it's values. Mistakes have been made. A few obvious civil servants will be punished, a few superiors reprimanded or demoted, hard questions held at bay at hearings, changes promised, and then the new admin denies involvement and all responsibility.

We all move on...
