Fair enough.Apologies if I seemed a bit defensive...

Brown IS a fan of the US,both as a politician and person.He holidays in Cape Cod for example.

I think he will still be a major ally of the US,though slightly more reserved than Blair,but thats more his way anyway on any issue.

I dont see many changes re Iraq under Brown and any would be minor.

No offense taken....feeling better about Gordon already.

I think we agree that it is imperative that the UK and US stay together on the war on terror, especially now in light of the possibilities afforded the cause by the election of Sarkozy in France. Wow, imagine if Sarkozy turns out as advertised....one can dream.
