The Brits have perfected the aims of the Democratic party; demonise anything larger than a BB gun as abnormal and psychotic. Too f'n bad for them.
Due to the common language and recent defense ties, most Americans have no clue how serious an enemy Britain used to be to the US. Tony Blair is especially dangerous because Americans like him.
They don't know that he's the elected president of the Socialist Internationale, to which the Democratic Socialists of America belong. (70+ members in Congress.) They in turn, belong to the Communist Party. Small world, eh?
