Down-votes - sometimes worth the price for wading into controversy. I up-voted you even though I have a British perspective on WW1 (nobody taught me at school that Americans fought in that!), WW2 (the war that started in 1939, not whenever it was in the 1940's that the Americans showed up), Marshall Plan (we only paid back our war debt to the USA a few years ago, great). I could go on... Essentially you illustrate my original point - Americans think that America is fabulous, the rest of the world have a more nuanced view.
