Boris Johnson MP - in his articles in the Spectator - has been one of the more vociferous supporters of the Iraq War and of Britain's involvement in it. He is also one of the keenest proponents of individual liberty on either side of the Atlantic. And his body of work is chock full of admiration and love of America. His many, many articles for the Daily Telegraph are all searchable through the Internet.
He is not as staunch a Conservative as I would like - he's no Churchill, but he is a great friend to America. So what if he regularises his position as a Briton? He's never lived in - nor voted in - America. Nor has he ever asked America for handouts. He's not betraying America - he is sorting out a bizarre problem caused by jus sanguineris.
The sorting out isn't the problem. The whinging about it in the press is. If a Tory can't see the need for examining passport oddities with stringent rules in a post 9/11 world, who can?
Shut up and soldier, Boris. If the worst inconvenience an international WOT causes you is vacation travel hitches, think about what Brits had to endure in 1940, then count yourself blessed beyond reason.
