I think far to much hysteria is made about the USA. They are without doubt the best friend that the UK has ever had (at least in the last century), and without them we would be goose-stepping down Broadway (our Broadway not yours).

Having spent some time in the US, and as my nephew was born (and still lives there), I have found some Americans naieve, but all friendly and polite. I do not berate your President, you elected him and that's democracy. I have reluctantly to accept that T. Blair is our Prime Minister, that's democracy...and I accept it (don't like it though). However, come the next election..I think I may just be fortunate enough to see him ousted in a democratic way.

It's very easy and very popular to have a go at "the Yanks", and shows how little courage they have that do it.

So goes the old addages "those that live in geenhouses, shouldn't throw stones" or "let those without sin cast the first stone"!!
