I was intentionally drawing the parallels between British and US foreign policy when I mentioned gunboat diplomacy, etc.

I would hardly say my preceeding piece is a glowing jingoistic list of British triumphs - merely a suggestion that the modern superpower is perhaps less benevolent overall than the previous one. in a world whose values are far more liberal and where most would not expect this to be the case - particularly not the average American (or probably even Briton) brought up on a diet of Hollywood drivel.
