Okay, I think I get it. It's not okay to call the reaction of some Americans narcissistic, but it's totally acceptable to strongly imply that the British are? Also, not sure how you define obnoxious when it comes to colonial powers, but I'd suspect there'd be a few European powers that beat them hands down, and if we include the post-colonial invasions and 'interventions' carried out by the US in the name of freedom and democracy, then we've got a winner!

btw, you might have forgotten but London suffered a major terrorist attack in 2005. I don't recall the reaction in the UK being to go off and invade a few countries and bomb the crap out of them. Seeing Blair was so deeply entwined with Bush's misadventures in Afghanistan and Iraq, he probably had no weak targets left to choose, but the reaction in the UK didn't appear to be one of hyper-jingoistic cries for war and revenge.
