Why is it so offensive to you giles for americans to veiw THIER county as great, huh. Is it vain to be patriotic and willing to back your country. I'm sure you see the U.K. as a great country since you are most likely a patriot your self. Have you ever taken the time to get to know a desent american, or are you basing your opinions on sterotypes. You may have your opinions, but please don't base then on sterotypes. Not all americans are like our power hungry and corrupt officails, most of us what to lead a peacful, succesful life and try to improve relations with other countries, not and try to destroy thier cultural or political ideals. If america comes off as being a imperialst monster, you are sadly mistaken.
