A little history for you, my friend.
I was the first non American to express shock and sadness over the 11 September disaster on the WOT forum. At the time we knew little of bush and less about his puppeteers. As the four years stretched, like a skid mark on a pair of size 4 Speedos on a size 16 arse, to eight, we learned more about the stupid people who elected him. We, there were several Brits at that time, were simply amazed at the blind stupidity of this poster and the half-brain coterie of whom she was a proud member.
The good people of America continue to be good but these idiots have degenerated, if that is possible, into a howling gaggle of foul mouthed hags who wouldn't know humanity and social responsibility if it bit their scrawny arses.
