Tinpot, if you can't see the differance, you truely have not paid attention to history.
Britain - want to colonize and control. Dont want to leave, want to make everyone a subject, paying taxes and bowing to the royalty while serving the ruling British elite.
USA - Never tried to maintain control, never attempted to establish US rule. Trying to leave a government that would realize mutual benefits, yes, but colonize and rule? Nope.
Let me quote Colin Powell:
Powell said, "We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace.
Can the same be said for Britain?
