I'm also (not too) suprised at how two-faced you americans have been over this, just count how many oil spills have happening over the last few years that involve american oil companies that havent caused an outcry. BTW there are some HUGE spills in africa that havent been fixed for years but i dont suppose that matters?
People tend to get up in arms when shit hits the fan in their own back yard. It's not exactly an American-only trait. Do you honestly believe that the British would react any differently if the roles were reversed?

Furthermore, it's absurd to assert, in any way, that BP is being demonized because they are foreigners. Most Americans really don't give a rats ass. Thanks for the Beatles, though.
