> i knew, even as I wrote it, that it sounded prejudicial, but it one does get the impression that the US tends to focus on itself and not know much about the rest of the world, unless they're trying to 'save' them from Communism. i guess Britain is experiencing a well-deserved resentment against being colonialised.

I think that communism thing is a bit obsolete nowadays, it's dictators, drug
lords and what have you. But Britain expressing resentment about being colonialized?
What goes around, comes around...I think Britain is expressing resentment
because it isn't the mighty imperial power--itself colonializing half the world--it used
to be only a while ago.

Ps. It's "McDonald's", really...Mr MacDonalds somewhere in Scotland might be
a bit upset about that... ;)
