Since we're seen with you as invading Iraq and all those other stupid countries we've got terrorists trying to blow us to bits.
And it isn't only American troops that get killed, or Americans that get beheaded. Every week we hear about more British soldier deaths, and in the past we've heard about so many beheadings of Brits.
And you're right. In a way I don't care much about attacks in America.
But since 9/11 we haven't heard of any more attacks in America, so what's there to care about?
