I'm not suggesting that Britain and America will go to war (again), simply showing how the tone of diplomatic meetings can drive public opinion which in turn drives the direction of politicians. Blair took a lot of heat in Britain for his steadfast commitment to the US and that was a huge factor in driving him from office. This may play out in such a way that the Brits will consider the Yanks a bunch of ungrateful SOB's and hang the US out to dry in the UN, NATO or WTO. To be fair, Bush pushed a lot of friendly nations into an anti-US posture. Obama seems determined to push away the rest. Seriously, which nations are currently strongly allied with the US right now?oh, and apparently the prussians and french have been looking for a reason to go to war it could have been a fart in the wrong direction
As to Obama's advisers, these are the same numbnuts that thought they could censure Russia in the UN security council for it's invasion of Georgia. At the time, I suggested that this idiotic response should preclude Obama from ever becoming president. This latest incident only reinforces that belief.
