Woah, Splitter, we might be bland but we're still there.
The Brits might criticize some aspects of some Presidents' foreign policies but blanket 'dislike' is too much.
The expression '9/11' has entered into the British vocabulary and consciousness too, and I'm sure you're aware we usually date things day/month/year.
It ain't just the US me ole mate!
The reports of multiple British deaths from either Iraq or Afghanistan are weekly, and whether a continued occupation would reduce the likelihood of a repetition of that event or similar is unknowable.
But we do know that the pullout from both places is obviously down to economics rather than moral, political or defence obligations. Neither the UK nor the US can afford it anymore.
Whether events of terrorism escalate when we pull out only time will tell.
Respect,
Dutch
