America always likes to back both sides. See the history of the Ford Motor Co in pre WW2 ( and immediately post 1939 ) Germany for example. Graham

Most US states are about the same size as England. I am sure a significant percentage of English people have never left England. I am equally sure a larger percentage have never been more than three timezones away or to two different climatic zones. Americans can manage this within their borders. America is a country, yes, but it is large. Comparing the population behaviours to those of smaller countries can be misleading. What percentage of Europeans have been outside Europe? Don't get me wrong, I actively dislike American policies, I just think that sometimes Americans are innocent of the criticisms levelled at them. :-) |
