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?

Ummm - seriously?
Remember Australia?
Remember when the UK joined the EU and dumped Australia (a country that has defended the commonwealth without fail every single time, and shed the lives of our soldiers without hesitation), and the UK gave practically all our export business to the EU
I also remember lining up at Heathrow as an Australian with the Queen on my currency, whilst I watched these old Germans (probably the same old farts that tried to kill my grandfathers) sail past me through the EU line as if they were special guests
The world isn't fair, and the US has done heaps of shit for and against the world. The USA has the best and the worst of everything - that's because it is the new Empire, and you have some sour grapes stuck in your throat for letting your empire dwindle away through ineptitude.
The POMS did way worse to the world IMHO, and giving up on Australia was (for me) the final straw
As an Aussie who used to want to defend the Queen and our Commonwealth - eat me!
To my Yankee mates - love your country ;)
But watch out - The Chinese have their sites set on being the next empire already!
