"Americans want to be loved, the English want to be obeyed," observed English Americanophile Quentin Crisp correctly. No true-born Englishman ever gave a fig about whether or not his country was liked. Who cares what foreigners think? As my old Dad was wont to express it from the depths of the paternal armchair: "Foreigners? Bloody fools, for all I can see." No true American ever said or thought this, nor ever could.
