I think, Mimio, that what Jaline means to say is that the Western is peculiar to the American film industry, at least historically. Americans invented the Western, and it still defines much of American film history. Other international filmmakers just adapted it (Sergio Leone, some Aussie filmmakers, etc).
Jaline, I would have to disagree with you about the Western being some kind of American "national" genre. There is no such thing.
