Respectfully, you missed my point, Spiral. Guts was the problem for the arabs, Indians, and other non-American colonists. I wasn't implying the Brits were gutless, historically, quite the opposite I believe. (We still wopped your butts though! He He.) Oppressive, impearalistic, dictatorial, selfish and fascist, yes, but gutless, no. I was talking about the other British colonies such as the sandy places, etc. We werent an economic match for England either, as per your examples. Pure grit won our "human rights." And we were never anything like "commie terroists." At least not anything like the idiots in Nepal, Russia, China, or N. Korea, etc. That may have been the nationalistic British opinion of our revolution, but we didn't ever kill off the British loyalists or terrorize their familys. That is a misstatement. The British, however, used the loyalists information to commit atroscities, and terrorize the revolutionaries and their families quite often, however.
Munk, you don't think Castro terrorizes his people and rules as a dictator? Move to Miami and listen to the opinions of the Cubans.
