Nurturing (or not nurturing) the special relationship

Thursday, 20th March 2008

You're John McCain, and you're on a trip to London. So what do you do? Naturally, you publish an essay praising Winston Churchill. Pardon me for being cynical, but I don't think that sort of ritual pat on the head is going to do the trick any more. The Brits need more substance. 

While I'm in my testy mood, I guess I might as well remind Barack Obama that the war in Iraq hasn't lasted longer than WW2. There were, in fact, some isolated outbreaks of fighting before Pearl Harbour.
