"One of our most valued, loyal allies is British Prime Minister Tony Blair. In a recent eloquent, impassioned speech before the Foreign Policy Centre in London, he nailed the issue, the bottom line of our international struggle. In a statement worthy of his predecessor Winston Churchill, he proclaimed, "This is not a clash between civilizations. It is a clash about civilization!"

I take it pat saw the most recent Budget from Blair's Government which promises to increase funding for state schools to the level of private schools.

What exactly does this statement mean? You're aware that the Brits call "public schools" what we call "private schools" and that they call "private schools" what we call "public schools?"

All very confusing, isn't it?

Put it this way, in British speak, St. Anne's Catholic High School is a public school.
