You are taking far too much of the blame, Nick. I am admittedly hyper-sensitive when it comes to my country. Nationalism and patriotism, along with most other "-isms", are generally thought to be very bad and the very concept behind the EU was to do away with them. So I am an old dinosaur, pardon the redundancy, but I can't help it and I see unwarranted slights and perceived anti-Americanisms more readily than others.
But I agree: all of these is WAY off topic and I apologize for taking part in it. I would reply to RT's remark above, but I can't understand what he's saying.
