tisonlyyou,
I gotta say, I like what you wrote in when it came to the historical sense, BUT (you knew that was coming) I just don't see it as being very neat. England gave up it's Empire, yes, but isn't the most hated imperialist around. The U.S. stands to be just that. I worry that if the lack of understanding within the US about the rest of the world's view of them remains, it could get messy.
At least the UK went relatively gentle into that good night.
