Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.
The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered,"
The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside them is color-coded."
The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know, I like auto mechanics. They always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you said it would."
But the fifth surgeon, Dr. Morris Fishbein, shuts them all up when he observes: "The French are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls and no spine. Plus the head and ass are interchangeable."

Looking at the big picture - the motives, the gains, the losses. Would america not have done the same as the french if the positions were reversed?
Besides, should the British feel equally intense hatred for Americans due to the Suez crisis in 1956?
I don't think so. Its politics and economics - harsh reality in which morals appear to have little place, as demonstrated by USA as much as any other nation.
