In Britain, War Concern Grows Into Resentment of U.S. Power Anxiety Over Attack on Iraq Moves to Political Mainstream By Glenn Frankel Washington Post Foreign Service Fascinating piece. I would suspect the following to be the most true. Other British observers insist that what's growing here isn't anti-Americanism, but rather healthy criticism of a superpower gone awry. "Being critical of U.S. policy does not constitute a prejudice," said Godfrey Hodgson, a veteran journalist and author. "A vast majority of the British people are favorable to the United States, but a substantial majority are opposed to George W. Bush." And this line about how all this fits into Blair's political future. Few observers believe the current unease here poses a serious political danger to Blair, whose ruling Labor Party has a massive majority in Parliament and the backing on Iraq of the leadership of the opposition Conservatives. But if Washington fails to seek U.N. Security Council support for military action, or if a military campaign bogs down, Blair could face trouble.
