Not really. All that your experiences prove is that there is a great deal of duplicity and self-serving in the New Labour movement, which shouldn't really surprise anyone. As for the peaceniks...they are the same the world over. British ones are no different from American ones. After all, your peaceniks think the CIA planned and implemented 9/11 so that the US could invade Iraq for oil (none of which has yet to reach the US, but never mind about that).

It's not the US vs Britain. Its conservatives in the US and Britain vs "progressives" in the US and Britain. Don't let them split you off from us by trying to say otherwise.

I’ve been traveling to and living in Great Britain for over 30 years. I can assure you that the Brits - particularly the educated classes of England - do not like or understand America. In fact, most of them are completely unaware of our history. I just had a Cambridge friend ask me who “John Adams was?” He had stumbled upon the television series. And if you think the Conservative Party of Great Britain is anything like American conservative movement - you’ve gotta get out more.
