It's like the whole Falklands thing, I mean, really? It's 2012, let go of the ba$tard islands, you made your point in 1982. Most people don't even know that the Malvinas were given to Argentina from Spain in 1811, but in typical British Empire fashion, the soldiers got there, planted a flag and said "well it's ours now". The all British self-importance in foreign policies and history is at times anachronistic and ludicrous, and it's what does more damage to the British image abroad than anything else.
Ok you go and explain that to the people that live there, and if we 'proved a point' in 82 then what would be the point of so readily capitulating now? is the Falklands issue purely caused by the British?.....I don't think so, what exactly is the difference in Argentina laying a claim as opposed to the British?

And.....could it be that you are actually unwilling to be thrown into the lot and expect a more fair and individual judgement?
Absolutely.....the same way we have to appreciate that modern Germans have nothing to do with the Nazis, I expect not to be judged by an isolated element of my country.

Apart from you taking out only a single argument instead of answering to the whole, yes, you are exporting them.
Much like you used a single quote to sum up the entire British mentality....see quote below.

U-Boats are those dastardly villains who sink our ships, while submarines are those gallant and noble craft which sink theirs.
