Ron- I'm glad we agree, you must have read the posts above quite differently from how I read them.....excluding WAV's.

I was responding to this:

"The attack on "globalilzation" seems to be a simple-minded paranoia that truly doesn't understand what the term means. (I love it when someone from a country that for years called themselves the Empire where the sun never sets blames America for trying to force itself on the rest of the world!)."

I think the British Empire was responsible for some pretty awful things in the past and I think the USA/UK alliance is doing some pretty awful things right now.....I also think that this has little to do with what I know of English/ British / American culture and everything to do with the egos of a few "leaders".
