I've been very impressed with Tony Blair this past year, unlike earlier during the clintoon regime, when I viewed him as another pea in that pod. Blair has come around and it is under his leadership that among all our old allies from WWII, only Britain is in our camp today, and remains our old friend.

What was it that Churchill said? We are one people separated by a common language...or something along those lines. (At least I think it was Churchill; I always assume anything pithy or memorable was said by him anyway.)

It is so appropriate for Blair and Bush, as they discuss strategy just prior to Bush's address to America on September 20, 2001, to be standing under the portrait of John Adams, America's first Ambassador to Britain.

Dear old Winston was the Special Relationship writ large. Don't forget, his mother was an American. ;)
