Interesting....well, I must 'fess up to putting "fuel on the fire" so to speak without intending any harm just enagaging in the popular daily sport of "leader bashing" which we all enjoy very much over here in the UK especially when we are lucky enough to have a leader of the calibre of Mr Bliar. From the many Americans I meet over here weekly, they do seem to enjoy the very same sport so I naturally assumed that this was par for the course, but there again, not many are from Texas.
I'd like to put just one thing straight for our US cousins though. You really should not talk about "Brits" in a disparaging way because it upsets the Scots and the Welsh so much to say nothing of the citizens of Northern Ireland. If you really MUST blame anyone for anything it is the ENGLISH you see. We, (for I am one of the few that would dare to admit it) are pretty much responsible for almost everything bad that's happened in the world in the last 2,000 or so years. Rumour has it that the head sergeant at the Crucifixion was wearing an England Soccer shirt; they certainly were wearing the good old English flag on their chests at the time of the Crusades when the 'boys' were over there spreading the Good Word (much like to today really).
So please, don't let the Scots Welsh & Irish take the blame -it's ours and ours alone. London can take it!!!!
Anyway, no offence to any of our global cousins for my toungue-in-cheek pop at GB (Gosh, that also stands for Great Britain, how very odd)
