President Bush is entitled to say what he likes, he and the USA is our ally and loves freedom as we do in the UK.

Being somewhat VERY Pro British, I have to admit, I was quite embarrassed to read the following, posted my an American working in this country, and I quote......

Quote:
I lived in England for 16 years, returning to the US on day of all days, 9/11. I was in a public position for my years in England and had to deal with anti-American prejudice every day. There were even some encounters with the elderly that were driven by how American GIs behaved in England in WWII. Even my friends could not get past my being American when they would explain my character. It can make for a very lonely life continually checking how you behave as the perpetual "guest".
Henry Jansma, US
TBH that makes me feel very embarrassed for being a UK citizen.......

On the other hand, watching the USA inflict it's power on the rest of the world agitates me, maybe I will just sit on the fence for now
