Eventually, the oil to Europe will be cut off by the Arabs. Then -- self-interest having reared its ugly head -- Europe will go to war. If logic doesn't work, if justice doesn't work, if respect for allies doesn't work, we can always count on unvarnished self-interest. Even the French are selfish. Or should I say, especially the French are selfish?

I have to wonder whether Tony Blair lines the toilet bowl with the Mirror before...well, you know:
"Poodle, am I?...[gurgle, gurgle, plop, plop]...ahhhhh.
"Woof, woof, you sods."

"America does not give a damn whether we support them or not. They'll just do what they've always done - and that's precisely what suits them. That's fine." At it's heart, this is true. However; it will take fortitude.
It takes no courage to be like the French.

Remind me again why we threw their tea in the water and kicked their butts at Yorktown....

He rolled over like a rather docile poodle, wagged his tail dutifully, and agreed to everything the war-hungry American President wanted.
Theyre so used to Blair rolling over and agreeing to everything the leftist press wants.
We don't believe your extraordinary inference that Europe is virtually impotent unless we're shoulder to shoulder with America.
Believe it.
He's not very bright, he smirks a lot when discussing very serious matters, and he's hell bent on avenging what happened to his country on September 11.
If he only tried a little harder in school, he might have become a pusillanimous, hand-wringing, surrender-monkey, writing snarky, petulant editorials for the effete toothless British press.
Let's be real here: America does not give a damn whether we support them or not.
Finally, some truth, though Blair's unexpected support since 911 has been heartwarming.
That's fine, so long as we don't get dragged along for the inevitable very bloody ride.
Speaking of inevitable very bloody rides, wheres that brutal Afghan winter weve been waiting for? You know, the one that the British press promised would bog down our forces and lead to a slaughter of our troops by the well-conditioned fighting god-men of the Taliban.
It will also be a massive drain on our own military resources when we least need it.
Oh yeah, who knows when some shepherds might try to reclaim the Falklands?

I thought Neville Chamberlain was dead. Perhaps he is one of "The editors" of The Mirror.
Dead or alive, appeasement is as good a policy today as it was in Hitler's time, and this article supports it. I guess some people are too stupid to learn from history -- even press pundits who think a journalism degree makes them smarter than everyone else on the planet.
It will be interesting to see what these puerile hacks have to write when they find themselves facing attacks from Arabs instead of the IRA. Should be good for a few laughs.
Will they roll over like a docile poodle, then?

The Brits are starting to sound like the French. Ingrates! I suppose it was only a matter of time after they joined the EU, but the transition seems to be occuring rather fast.

Didn't these clowns lose the what became the US this way? Slow learners but big whiners. You don't speak for all the Brit's, a lot of them are plenty tough minded.

"Leadership is the ability to get people to do things they did not want to do, and make them happy they did them."
Winston Churchill
Leadership, therefore, often requires the ability to get things done, despite resistance.
The Mirror has foolishly called President Bush "not very bright", but the facts speak for themselves. President Bush is a strong American leader and most European leaders have appeared inept since September 11th.

Though I don't appreciate the snotty tone of this piece, nor the inuslts directed towards the President (well actually I've heard him called much worse right here), I agree 100% with their stance against attacking Iraq.
It seems to me Iran is more of a threat to America (via it's support of Al Qeada) than Iraq.

It's the children and grandchildren of the same bunch of idiots that said, "Hitler? Yea, we can work with him."
To: Pokey78
Funny, I remember the Brits saying, "what can we do to get the Americans involved in the war?" during 1940.
To: Pokey78
"Mr Blair IS very bright...." I stopped at this remark--- A 'bright' man siding with the United States, and the world's, anti-terrorist position makes sense, the rest of the article is Socialist 'pap'.

I have been very surprised at the leadership Tony Blair has displayed. Just like the Nazi-loving lefties of the left, any sign that Blair actually agrees with Bush on an issue must mean that Blair is a puppet of the gun-toting cowboy Bush. The Mirror is truly the paper of yobs.

"But because they know it will result in massive and possibly irreparable instability to the whole region.Which is why hardly anyone else in the world agrees with it." As if making 'missiles' out of 4 commercial airliners in one morning isn't 'destabilizing'.
