Ruminations

So, I'm watching "The Real Story" on the Smithsonian channel where they are detailing the story behind the Bruce Willis movie, "Live Free Or Die Hard."  As always, my curiosity is peaked for the truisms and sheer possibilities presented.  One question keeps running through my head though.  Why, in all my research, reading, and seeing shows, either fictional or reality, has the United States or it's citizens been portrayed as the victim of cybercrime?  Surely other nations are targets and face the same problems from cyber criminals as the U.S., but for whatever reason, these other nations get secondary billing.  I suppose if there were a story (fictional) about an American hacker attacking another nation, the impression would be far different.  Would the impression be the top nation being a bully?
