Indeed there are, Kendall. But that's not what I said. What I said is that there are others in the UK who do NOT differentiate between the American government and American people. And who will thoughtlessly have a go at Americans and American culture - even in the presence of an American - because somehow our govenment's transgressions make that acceptable.

I don't agree. That's why Grasse's diatribe this morning made me giggle - it was a bit of table-turning that I found rather amusing.
