Winston was always rather kind to Americans. Genuine affection? Gratitude? Politics? Perhaps because his mother was an American?

Or all of the above?

Who knows.

Finally, we can claim to have used Churchill effectively and wisely. Bravo Kore.

I don't think Churchill would agree with your intended sentiments, at least based on the history of the man. And the implication that we did everything wrong and now will be doing right is excessively premature - nothing has been done yet. America voted for a shift in legislative leadership - time will tell whether it was prudent or not.
