Is it possible to show patriotism for one's own troops without the need to put down your allies? Americans manage that. Probably has to do with our lack of an inferiority complex.

Ok, I'm only saying this because I take issue with the label of an inferiority complex, on the Brits: English history is rife with a self-perception of superiority over anyone not British: The Irish, the Scots, and Indians to name a few.

The fact that this inherent cultural trait is displayed now and then in a British tabloid should not be considered extraordinary...

Do you generally tolerate snide insults from your friends? I'll personally overlook a lot, but when our troops, those young men and women, put their lives on the line for me, I don't tolerate some snot-nosed British newspaper printing insulting articles about those young men and women.

That it's okay with you is astonishing.

The Daily Telegraph is not a tabloid. It is the premier conservative paper.

Can you not grasp the simple fact that since this sickeningly snide article appears in the premier conservative paper in Britain, it very clearly shows that even among conservatives in Britain, anti-Americanism is rampant?

Can you imagine a similarly vicious attack on British troops being printed in the Wall Street Journal?

Get real!
