Yes, and? The Confederacy wasn't considered a foreign country, either, but still the Civil War was very much a war. I'm not sure why the Revolutionary War should be any different. The point is that it's a war against an organized army, and that the abused people in question were members of that army, who had taken up arms against the British army and would do so again. Nothing like repression of innocent citizens, which indeed the British didn't do prior to the outbreak of the war, except for isolated incidents like the Boston Massacre. During the war, I imagine there'll have been more incidents, but still that does not compare to systematic repression in peacetime.

Trifles is your word, not mine. The US had its reasons for wanting independence, and I am not making any judgement here about whether those reasons were good enough to take independence by force. But good enough or not, you cannot let your nationalism blind you to the point of claiming that the British burden was remotely comparable to the colonial burdens in most other colonized countries, including some colonized by the British themselves, or to repressive dictatorial regimes now. And hence, I invite you yet again to comment on the part of this discussion that's relevant to the topic at hand - whether it's reasonable to expect the Egyptian people to obtain its freedom in a manner as gentlemanly as the Americans did it.
