Ah, yes..."how dare we", indeed!
"How dare we"...we who took up arms against a tyranical British Empire over two centuries ago.
"How dare we"...we who, in 1812, commenced fighting a 2 1/2 year war with the tyranical British Empire, and her allies, who were still smarting over American Independence a quarter century earlier and doing things like impressing American Sailors into British naval service, blockading American merchant traffic, and hiring privateers to do the same.
"How dare we"...we who went up against the largest empire this world has ever seen, covering over 13 million square miles and 500 million people at it's height...1/4 of the world's land mass AND 1/4 of the world's population at that time.
"How dare we"...we who came to Great Britain's aid in not one, but BOTH World Wars.
"How dare we", indeed.
