I don't have any anti-British sentiment. I have always felt quite warmly toward the British. I do have a lot of anti-imperialist sentiment, and to the extent that I am involved in a discussion of imperialism, I also include Britain in my criticism (as well as my own country). But that is a different matter entirely.

But I must say, I am very surprised at the extreme lack of compassion that I see being demonstrated by some of the UK people posting in this thread. That is something I did not expect. For some reason, I had gotten the impression that people in the UK were much more empathetic and compassionate than what I am seeing here in this thread. Live and learn, I suppose.
