Ok, I have several sources on American and British battle deaths and military strength (in World War II).
**********
Source 1 - http://gi.grolier.com/wwii/wwii 16.html
America's Peak Strength: 12,300,000
America's Battle Deaths: 292,131
UK's Peak Strength: 5,120,000
UK's Battle Deaths: 244,723
Source 2 - http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/2WWbritishA.htm
UK's 1945 Strength: 2,920,000
UK's Battle Deaths: 144,079
Source 3 - US Department of Defense Website
America's Peak Strength: 16,112,566
America's Battle Deaths: 405,399
Source 4 - http://www.valourandhonor.com/DB/BACK/Casualties.htm
America's Battle Deaths: 295,000
UK's Battle Deaths: 326,000
UK's Civilian Deaths: 62,000
Note that the Department of Defense's website has a higher number of Americans serving and dying than the other sites; also note that the British site (guessing Source 4 is UK because valor is spelled with a U) has a higher number of British battle deaths than the other sites.

Also, in one post you say: "I know England did not fight the war ALONE! I know it, I admit it."
In another post you say: "the allies Britain had, but by mid 1940 we had none through to mid 1941".
Which one do you mean?
--
"How would any American feel if another country was going to murder your family because of what your government has done and you wanted no part?"
-It's a tired point, but Saddam has been murdering Iraqi families for 20 years, and you make it sound like our government will go into Iraqi civilians' houses and murder families, which we WOULD NEVER do.

Arrow aka Hiro Hentai:
A- We don't care as much how well our entertainment does in other countries because we don't get as much revenue from them as we do from marketing movies and TV shows in the US. That's not narcisstic, its common business sense.
B- If you're mistaking the Indi awards for 'awards in India' (I'm presuming Indai means India), then your point isn't even valid. If, however, you do mean 3 awards in India, no, the American audience doesn't care, because the Indians have different tastes than Americans, and therefore a film that does well there isn't at all guaranteed to do well here. Has an Indian movie ever been advertised in India as having gotten x many awards in the US?
C- American movies and TV are OBVIOUSLY made for Americans, that's why they're called AMERICAN moveies and TV shows. And it's once again common business sense that if a show or movie doesn't do good in a region (such as America) you don't keep marketing/advertising it in that FRICKIN' REGION!
D- If American movies and TV shows really showed what life in America was like, you'd have terrorists taking over a 40-story high-rise in Los Angeles, Baltimore would've been destroyed by a nuclear weapon, New York would have so many car chases and shootouts it's not even funny, there would be killers with hockey masks in every other neighborhood, gangs would sing and dance in the streets, evil super-villains would try a new evil plan every year just to have it foiled by a lone secret agent, etc, etc, etc.
American movies and TV DO NOT accurately depict the American lifestyle.
E- PLEASE work on getting your points across in an easier-to-read/understand way.

One last thing: THERE IS NO C IN ELECTROJAKO45! YOU BRITS GET IT RIGHT HALF THE TIME, BUT THE OTHER HALF YOU EITHER CAN'T SEEM TO READ A SCREEN NAME, OR ELSE YOUR NEED TO ADD EXTRA LETTERS TO EVERYTHING APPLIES TO WITHOUT AN 'OR'/'OUR' IN THEM.
Sorry, just had to get that out of the way.
