I'm going to try not to offend anyone here east or west of the atlantic, but i did a-laevel poltiics and we learnt about the "special relationship" that britain and america had,
If bin liner had attacked canary wharf would america have attacked afghanistan in the way they did, i doubt it, would the western world have rallied around Britain? No!!! America, like it or not is the worlds only super power, if wall street crashes the western economy may as well say goodbye,
this war has saved bushes career, he will probably win election in another 3 years time over this war on terrorism and yet i still don't here about any action being taken over northern ireland.
HE has lived off his fathers legacy of iraq and i wouldn't be surprised if bin liner waited until bush jnr was in power until he attacked.
Blair jumped onto bushes parade, not that i disagree with what happened in New York, it upsets me emensly even now, every western country should have fought against it, but blair came across too pro-american and too friendly with bush.

Werll, I think Blair;s close liasion with Bush has been a great success. It has massively improved rleations between our countries and it was also the right thing to do, in political,economic and moral grounds. It's very easy to see him as a lackey, but to be hoinest he is virtually holding the reins on this one.
