I'd like us to move away from that whole thing now.

I don't think it was just Blair... i think it started long before that.

Churchill coming to the US on his knees begging the US to save Britain from the Nazi's is a more likely beginning to this story...

Then after the war, once again, Britain, crawling to the US begging for money for reconstruction cash after war...

Then, the Soviets taking over half of Europe, once again Britain came calling for America to have a stronger presence in europe, to keep the Soviets at bay...


i think this kind of subservient, begging relationship was formed over many decades...

We love our humble Brit cousins, so we happily obliged.
