The British did fight two Viet-Nam style counter-insurgency wars, and
they won BOTH of them (The Boer War, and the unpleasantness in Malaya,
in the 60's), and have always shown up promptly when required to help
save the world.

The USA would not exist, at all, if the british had not defeated the
french in the new world, and without british help in the War of 1812,
the US president might still be living in a godawful, pink limestone
building.  8-)
