Eh, thats the same tolerant Americans who are still considered ignorant and thick by the rest of the world whose isolationist attitudes made them late in entering the parties called world war one and world war two? (BTW dont give me that crap about the US winning WW2, we had to pay you guys and only just paid off the debt a couple of years back, the US was a mercenary force). And whose isolationist attitudes and foreign policies currently has seen the growth of anti-american feelings range from anti-capitalist attacks on the likes of McDonalds and Starbucks to the growth of terrorism.
BTW, i could point out West Virginia or Oregon on a map, could you show me where East Sussex or Suffolk is?
