Karen darlin' I won't dignify his crass comments with a response. I'm not about to give him a history lesson - let him do his own research on Wikipedia.

I think every one in the world should be thankful that it's Obama in office rather than Bush.. HE is facing the worst distain from those in congress who want a war... ANY war.. And Obama is taking his time and weighing all options in spite of the drum beating from the Neocons.25-08-2013, 02:01 PM

In 1956 Britain was likewise begging America to join them and France in opposing Nasser's take over of Suez. America didn't (for various reasons) and look what happened.
It is really sad that Britons are so insecure that anything less than fulsome praise is seen at 'slagging' them off. Such a pity.
