I feel sure they will confirm that British contribution is a lot more than appears on the surface. limtex, I think a lot of people know this... but the original question was about Tony Blair. Are you a brit? Do you have any feeling for whether Blair initiated, or pushed for this conflict. I thought possibly, because he is taking an active role and there was certainly reasons to be concerned for any nation in Europe (as opposed to the US, we really aren't quite sure of the history etc.) Fwiw I've always liked Blair, and haven't changed my opinion, I don't know about that "barking poodle" description, well ok I like poodles, really smart dogs.

I have no problem with standing behind Britain, they are the only ally we really can really on in the world.

>> The US will support the British in precisely the same way viz US support to Britain in the Falklands War. Limtex - are you joking? The US support for the British over the Falklands was zip. much to Thatcher's disgust. It was apparent US indifference that prompted the Argentine junta to invade in the first place. Post War history shows that the British haven't been able to rely on their American allies for much -The Suez Crisis in '56 is a classic example.

Limitex: my quote was about Blair, not the Brits. I studied in England and have a great respect for the English people. I know what they did during WWII and have followed their history quite closely since I have most of my degrees in English literature. As for Blair: he and Clinton are cut from the same cloth. Both speak the same blather with the same unctiousness. Both "feel our pain," God bless them, and both are determined 'do gooders' as long as they smell votes at the end of that particular rainbow. Both can talk the smallest issue to the greatest death while entertaining the audience with their clever way with words. Whatever else they share in common I do not know and do not care. At least we have not heard any rumors about Blair being attracted to Monica or Monica types.
