Hi,
I love the American dream, love Florida for the kids, myself being one of them, lol,and the whole can do attitude, very little negative attitude, beautiful scenery and lovely people.
However I don't think the world policeman does not do you any favours, succesive governments have attacked other countries without thinking about the consequences, our government has always backed you, now we are both hated, a more reasoned approach is now necessary to guide the world forward more of understanding of these other nations who do not share our ideals.
America and the UK need to realise that our way may not be the best way forward and we need a bit more compassion rather than tanks and missiles!
The American dream and ideals are fantastic but need some adjustment so that the rest of the world can benefit.
By the way I do on the whole love the American people, but you just need to chill out a bit, to coin your phrase!
Best Regards,
