Angry The Concorde debate American style

I really have seen it all,

This morning I have been whatching CNN in the.US There was a New York City congressman being interviewed on the subject of Concorde and the noise levels it creates at CDG LHR and of course JFK.

I can not help but wonder whether if this aircraft was a US product there would no issue and further more the countries in europe to which the plane would fly would not complain.

So great britain will alllow the US to build its ballistic missile defence system in scotland, thus making the country a target for just about every global terrorist, and the US will not even allow a joint french and british aircraft in to there airports.

I'm struggling to find a common standard here, but we should be used to this by know.

After all the rest of the world ratified the Kyoto treaty, guess who did not!!

the moral here, An insular nation such as the USA should really consider what other countries do for them before they rubbish those countries projects for no other reason than BLATANT JEALOUSY!!

ALSO WHAT HAS AMERICAN BEER AND HAVING SEX IN A CANOE GOT IN COMMON?

THEY ARE BOTH F#*#ING CLOSE TO WATER

The US are our friends until we build something better. They will never accept it, thats why whenever they (eventualy) buy a UK designed and built aircraft or Helicopter, they give it there own "special" name.

They even claim rights to the Hovercraft and Aircraft Carrier.

Not so.
