Give me a break!
What about all the crap from the WAPO, the NYTimes, the LATimes etc., etc., etc., Those and the BBC are from the same schools of propaganda. Come to think of it so's The Scotsman.
But the beginning comment was about what if there was no America...what would happen to the rest of the world. My comment was it would become uncivilized. If my history is correct it was the GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE...that civilized the world. But what about today?
Don't take me wrong my family is from England and Scotland, in fact, one of my great grandmothers was cousin to Queen Victoria...so I love the UK...it's just today's environment that sucks...worldwide...
