right america might have gone with this british 'blueprint' as you say but then act as if they invented it, this arrogance when it comes to military power and also financial strength which i see as a major reason why 9/11 happened perhaps due to jealousy of those living in countrys much poorer than america.

some more reason for britain to hate america

1) friendly fire - for fuck sake why does this go on tanks marked as friendly being attacked by american fighter jets is an obvious reason for anamosity between the two countrys
2) there is simply no subtlty in america, and a view of why talk when you can shout
3)ignorance - ask the vast majority of british people about basic american culture sport,tv etc and youd get a reply but in america do the same regarding british culture they would look at u as if you had come off another planet
