Actually, the Americans should thank us. The original was built out of a lovely local pink stone. Just imagine it had stayed put: There they'd be, world superpower, "indispensable nation", top bully on the block, and where does their President live? The Pink House. All the other heads of state (um, except Argentina who actually have a Pink House now) would be snickering every time they came to visit. It'd be like if they'd actually ended up with the turkey as their national bird.
So yeah--Americans, you dudes OWE us for burning that thing down.
