So we have nothing to fear from US Govt Databases. Obviously the US govt does not spy on its own people, obviously it would never intercept personal calls between trusted parties and then share the information around the office "because it was fruity and amusing".
The database is only as good as the information it holds and only as secure as the people using it.
Both these risks are historically high.

Actually
in WW2 wasn't it the Americans, Canadians AND Australians who came to our aid? Or was that WW1? Or both?
Anyway, you were getting your asses kicked by Japan until you dropped a bomb created by scientists you'd never have had if we'd not been in that war. So if you want a "we saved your asses", that's right- we saved yours.
Plus how many times were your asses saved by radar (British)? Or having guns whose barrels were rifled (somewhere in Europe)? or even a simple phone call (British)?
For a people who had to be bailed out and defended by the French of all people you really can turn out some seriously uppity citizens.*
We're not scared of databases, and I'm pretty sure we know what data mining is. We just don't like criminals getting hold of our data- and a huge central repository for that data is a real easy way for them to get a hold of it. Even if it's a nukeproof, quadrillion-bit quantum-encrypted and somehow entirely isolated from the Internet system you'll find that someone will make an unencrypted tape backup. Then lose it on a train. Or save the passwords they use to access the database on a laptop and lose it.
Then the crims get our data, then we lose our privacy and security.

He is a truly gifted individual. With such a unique perspective on history I'd love to see him do a documentary.
I can imagine it now, Hitler was in his tent on the white cliffs and the poor UK forces had been forced all the way to the Scotish borders. Just as Churchill was about to surrender in come the US soldiers, millions of them...and the only reason they were late to the party was because they'd just defended the earth from martians.
I'm presuming he'll gloss over the small points that the wars the US have started havent gone too well (vietnam anyone?) and really we've been there saving their arses (when they arent blowing us up for funsies) in more recent events.
I suppose we can't rule out total stupidity, as he clearly knows the keyboard shortcut for cut and paste, without which "run away, the databases are coming" would not have been repeated so liberally. Or maybe in a true defiant idiom, he decided to store the line 'run away the databases are coming' in a database and SQL injected them into all comments he made on a random basis to prove his point on the harmlessness of databases. Yes, yes, I know...

We should be applauding this man for saying the things we would not say even if the swelling lesion on our brain stem left us inclined to do so.
We should be thanking him for upholding the ideals of free speech in a manner that ensures that our most drug-addled, misogynistic, illogical, hate-filled, diatribes will be elevated as Kennedy'esque oratory by comparison.
We should stand upon the shoulders of this giant and see the world much as he sees it, save for the fact that he has to look up at our backsides and down at his strides around his ankles.

Cost of building a database
It's hard to see how someone could work in the computing industry and think the main expense in building a cross-jurisdictional database of personal details is the SQL developers. That's like thinking the main expense in building a 3G network is the RF circuitry for the handsets.
I also enjoyed the leap that because a database of IP traffic helped to find malware, a database of benefits claimants will help find terrorists. It's almost the exact same thing. They are both databases, and they are both being used to find something.
He has an interesting idea though: this database should be so good that it can find terrorists without using data mining. I suppose that would make it a list. I can certainly see how that would be helpful, but again doubt the main expense would be in SQL developers.
Thanks for sharing it. It's helped me put other head-shaking stupidity into context, and left me more relaxed about the world.

Databases are not scarey, nor is the informaiton stored in a database.
The scarey point is what is done with the information and who has access to it.
I could take all the information for all people living in the UK and put it in a database and lock it away in a cellar. No one would have any issue with this as there is no way it would be used against you.

@The Various Anonymous Cowards. American education teaches us that both WW1 was a trench warfare standoff before we entered it, and that the British Isles were in danger of invasion prior to our official entry into WW2. Furthermore, it also teaches that we were very slowly winning in the Pacific, and it was taking as long as it was because we decided to focus the majority of resources in Europe first. I think you will find there is some basis for thinking US entry into those conflicts contributed significantly to victory. I wouldn't describe it as "saving Europe", as both times we had significant reasons of our own to go, and neither time did we win the war single handedly.
If you really want to take the piss out of us (Is that the proper use of that phrase?), remind us that we wouldn't be a country at all without the French winning the American Revolution for us, and remind us about the British remodeling of the White House in 1814. Or, in fact, the entire war of 1812. American education glosses over these events, so you might need to explain them a bit.

Well said Mark
WW2 saw lots of different things, and there are many 'what's if's:
IF the US concentrated on the pacific war, then maybe Europe would be Russian,
IF the Poles (thats people from Poland OK?) with help from France hadn't cracked the enigma machine then the war may have taken a lot longer and cost yet more lives,
IF the Norwegians hadn't co-operated with the British then maybe the Nazis would have been first with an atomic bomb (and long range missiles!),
IF the rest of the world (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan .. oh the list goes on) had just stayed out of WW2 entirely then maybe Europe would be Nazi.
History is written by the victors is very true, but more importantly the victors decide what to tell people after the event, and if the standard curriculum leaves out some of the more embarassing facts then who is to know:
@Mark - our understanding is:
The British Isles was not in any realistic danger of being invaded by the Germans, though the Germans had 'Operation Sealion' as a plan it was not really going to work without their domination of the airspace and channel.
The Americans took a long time to do much in the pacific, but that's rather understandable because they were (after being asked very nicely by Churchill amongst others) concentrating on Europe, as well as getting their own war machine up and running (don't forget that this was not long after a huge depression) AND the way to win in the pacific at the time was to flood the place with submarines intent on knocking out the supply lines, and letting time do the rest.
The Americans did not 'save our hide' so much as save Europe from being either Nazi or, (the greater threat) Russian, and if you think that they did it just because we begged them then that would be a very short-sighted view.
On a (slightly) more lighthearted note it's a common thought here that the Americans always seem to be late for wars, and that those they aren't late for (because they start them) they don't do at all well at (Korea and Vietnam for starters, but Iraq and to a certain extent Afghanistan).
I could go on, but I'm sure that I have been boring enough for a Friday afternoon and everyone wants to read the BoFH instead.

Of course it is not true that America saved England all by itself. The English fought like lions against tremdous odds. However, it *is* true that America came to her aid when it wasn't obliged to.

@Paul Murphy
I've already read the BoFH. :-)
Just to be clear, I was attempting to quote the view that comes out of American public education, or at least the one I received. The picture painted of Britain by such an education is that of a country fighting valiantly, but suffering from blockade and air raids. The impression given is prior to official US entry, the British performed incredible feats of bravery, but did so with equipment and food provided by the Lend-Lease act. It's a dull, drab picture full of powdered milk, tinned tongue, and backyards full of home vegetable plots while the people stubbornly hung on by their fingernails against the best the Nazi's could throw at them. The impression is given that Wolf pack tactics would eventually weaken Britain to the point where an invasion would be successful.
Please note- as you may have guessed, I have spent very little time touring World War 2 Era Britain. I'm simply presenting the view that gets converted into "We saved Britain’s Bacon" by those even less educated about this point in history then myself. (I may have only gone to an American public school, but at least I paid attention to it!)

If you have a database of all citizens, and run a test on it that is 99% accurate in finding terrorists, assuming .0001% of population are terrorists (for example) you will wrongly arrest ~1% of the entire population. of those arrested, the vast majority (>99%) will be innocent.

Saved what,exactly?
The history books relate that at the very moment Japan surrendered the USA cancelled all their loans and demanded immediate payment. Seeing as it left good ol' Blighty suffering rationing until later than anywhere else in Europe whilst the Germans had the economic miracle, I'd say there was a fairly twisted version of 'saving' going on.
It's also worth noting that the USA didn't become involved for purposes of saving anyone or anywhere. They did it because those nice Japanese got over-enthusiastic on a Pacific cruise and then that lovable music hall act Herr Hitler declared war on them. Which, y'know, rather involved them whether they wanted to or not...

Eventually
Assuming we fell in WW2, which did indeed require that Germany gain air supremacy over the channel so our planes didn't sink all their lovely shiny troop transport ships, the US would have to deal with a Europe dominated by either the USSR or Nazi Germany. My understanding is that Germany wasn't working on nukes, but only because they felt they would have either won or lost by the time they were ready. They had the potential to work on nukes, and if they gained enough respite they could well have reassessed this and become a nuclear threat. They also had developed a bomber capable of reaching the US, and I heard it managed to get off the east coast undetected, but it was too late in the war and too expensive they didn't have the resources to put it into use. Coupled with plans to try fitting their V rockets (the scientists from which ran your space program by the way) on a submarine this means the Nazis could be a very credible threat long term.
Also the biggest boon to the Allies was Hitler's incompetence. His order to change from bombing the RAF airfields to try bombing our cities into submission instead is truly what saved us, since the RAF was almost broken... but not quite finished off yet and this allowed them to continue. If they had fallen invasion was a real possibility, but once the German bombers changed targets the risk of invasion fell away. Other mistakes where Hitler intervened gave the allies such huge advantages in other situations as well, he seemed to enjoy playing armchair general but he was unbelievably crap at it.
Myself I don't feel all Americans are bad about this, though it comes up enough that it drives us Brits mad. In the same way Americans might be annoyed about the way Brits seem to stereotype "stupid Americans" we're sick and tired of Americans telling us they saved our skin non stop and we rely on them all the time. America is a young country, and having been invaded a few times over about a 2,000 year period and being involved in various wars, civil wars, bad rulers etc tends to give you a little perspective. I feel the US as a country (though not necessarily the people) can be quite immature in its perspective sometimes.

Say what you will about the quality of MSFTs wares, but their legal people are truly first rate, as well as extremely aggressive.

I think we all need to break down our walls and share a moment of personal time, in personal space. Come on. Lets hug. You all know it would be better if we hugged the hurt away. Don't be ashamed to cry, either. I often cry when I am hugging.
Are we still talking about Aaron Crankypants? He could do with a hug too. And valium. On a drip. He is not valid and we will not allow him to think himself so.
I am suspecting this might not pass moderation, but I'm fine with that. It is a good day. Many hugs.

" However, it *is* true that America came to her aid when it wasn't obliged to."
As I recall from my history lessons, we were obliged to pay vast sums in order to have that assistance - it wasn't quite as benevolent as you suggest.
I think the real loser here, aside from Aaron of course, is the 'merkin education system which seems unable to teach history. I'd love to point out a long list of things from which Aaron personally benefits - all due to the UK. However space doesn't permit so I've put them in a database... If nothing else scares him, the number of things he owes to us ought to...
