I want to add something to this part right here...

I'm sorry, but I don't think someone who doesn't live and pay taxes in the US gets to tell us that we are responsible for what happens in southeast Asia.

Even more important than the taxes, is the number of our men and women (our fathers, brothers, sons, and daughters) who died over there, or who came back either physically damaged, or, and perhaps even worse, emotionally and/or mentally damaged from that war. We are still grievously wounded as a country because of what we did in that war. I find it quite presumptuous for someone in another country to be telling people in this country that we had a responsibility to send our precious young people to die and be maimed in Southeast Asia, and to be still paying for that, financially, physically, and emotionally, while that person was not in a position to be impacted by the war as we in the US were and are.

Save the patronizing lectures, please. We can decide for ourselves whether or not we want to be the world's policemen and whether or not we should uphold the central pillar of our democracy. The people in the UK can take responsibility for their own country and leave those of us in the US to take responsibility for ours.
