I enjoyed reading the article you posted about the help the British troops have given to our troops.
I have not written anything disparaging about the British troopers. I think they are fine soldiers.
I do very much object to the tone of this article and I think that the fact that it was written in a conservative newspaper in Britain tells us plenty about the attitude of even the conservative Britain Public.
The British troops are all well and good, but the British politicians give commands to the troops and with a socialist public, Britain will not have a muscular foreign policy for much longer.
The British want to make up with the French, integrate with the EU, and give more power to the UN. Let them go their own way. If we try to compromise with them in order to prop up their politicians, we will be pulled into that whole morass.
