Whew man, cool off.

Nobody is attacking the Brits. Criticizing the titular head of state is no more an attack on Britain than critcizing Bush is an attack on America.

Having said that, and originally having been critical of Bowles, taking another look at her, she looks like a real "hot" looking lady, comments here to the contrary notwithstanding. I'm really sorry about Charles and Diana and what happened there. Living your life in a fishbowl can't be a pleasant experience for anyone and something should be done to control the press and those ghouls called the Paparazzi.

I know the British Royal Family has an outstanding history of fighting the Muslims. So do most of the royal families in western Europe. Which makes it all the more painful when some of their modern descendents praise Islam or offer excuses for its threatening behavior.

America owes a great debt of gratitude to Britain. If there were no Britain, there would have been no America. Not without meaning has the American Revolution been called the Brothers' War. The concepts of Freedom, Republican Government, trial by jury, representative government, taxation by approval of elected officials, etc, all valued american rights, have their roots in English history.

Excluding the unfortunate occurances of 1776 and 1812, Britain and America are joined by strong cultural and historical ties which transcend any temproary differences.

You will find no true englishman who dislikes the US. When we formed a colony of Englishmen who loved self-determination like englishmen do, you were bound to become independent very quickly.

As for modern royals offering excuses for islamic violence, please quote examples as it is something I am genuinely not aware of.
