What about the British?
Has it ever crossed your mind why all we hear is about US casualties in Iraq and not the British? Does this mean that the British troops are less "occupiers" than the American troops? Does this mean, the Iraqis dis-like the British less than the Americans? Probably not.
The fact is that the British have shown many times throught their colonial history, that they are more familiar with the mentality of the people in third world countries and they apply that to the way they run their policies. This by no means is to suggest that the British respect other cultures and costums, but they are sure succesfully pretending to do so in order to better push their colonial agendas.
Many elderly people in the Iran believe "whenever something goes wrong somewhere, there can be a trace of the British found in there, although may be a bit fadded". May be a bit too pesimistic, but hey, they might have a point.
