Heck historically we brits were - and I stress _were_ - responsible
for a great deal; dam we messed a good part of the world in our role
as the dominate world power in the past. Its over to you guys in the
US - that's your job now. We are now just lapdogs at best. Heck if
your wife has a hand gun in her bed side table for fear of her
neighbours give up blaming the Brits - ask her if she is she afraid of
the Brits and not the disadvantaged in her locality. Its your problem
now.
