RobertN, please don't think I'm knocking you
but we British have a lot to answer for
we screwed over half the world in our heyday
how can we be so hypocritical as to knock the U.S?
We started the industrial revolution
colonized much of North America
Helped create the state of Israel (1946 version)
etc etc

HEY!...All those were good things!
Hey sean don't get me wrong,
what I meant was
Britain is responsible for much of the worlds trouble
through creating the need for oil through the industrial revolution
deepening the arab israeli conflict through political meddling etc
and how can we knock a country its foreign policy etc
that is a direct result of our own imperialism
I like Americans on the whole, I've even been to the U.S
Most people I met were pretty sound
I think a lot of Brits feel responsible for much of the worlds trouble
and it's socially unaceptable to fly the Union Jack most of the time
It's associated with the hard right and racism.
When Americas power and influence has dwindled
which inevitably it must
Many Americans will probably be bitter towards China or
whoever is top dog then, it's only natural.
I do however think that we Aspergians are a seperate breed
and above this sort of medieval fuedalism
