Funny that nobody in Washington or London thought to measure up first!
But also testimony to the fact that the common values that bind us across the Atlantic are in many ways far greater than the differences which caused the Revolution. A bit like some religious wars, where 99% of the faith is agreed on, but they burn each other over the 1%. In many ways, other than being part of the much larger Anglo-French disputes, Seven Years War, Naoleonic wars etc, the American Revolution was a war which need never have happened, and I think John Adams at least would agree.
