Today, we can see again what Britain gets for being a staunch ally of Bush. They get home-grown terrorists, bombings, and more terrorist plots.
You have to wonder what exactly are the benefits of hitching yourself to George W. It's like when you consider making an investment or major purchase. You look at the pros and the cons. We all know what the cons are: your people become a target for terrorists, and you breed your own terrorist cells.
So, what are the benefits? Ummmmm, well, uhhhh, okay not many. Blair has sold out his people so he can cozy up on Bush's lap. Tony is like any other man in power, he wants to more power himself, and be closer to those who have even more power.
But, hey, it's all good for Blair. Like Bush, he has his own security and is insulated from the world. If terrorists strike, they're not going to get him or his family anyway.
This explains further why Bush has such a hard-core attitude towards foreign policy. No matter how dangerous he makes the world, he doesn't have to care one little bit. He has his own plane, cars, security staff, etc. Bush can turn the entire world against us (aren't they, already?). But, he can come and go throughout the world as he pleases without a scratch.
So, here's the plan to make Bush and Blair come back to reality. Make these idiots ride commercial aircraft, ride the subways, and walk the streets like the rest of us. Let them be exposed to the results of their reckless foreign policies. Plus, do that for their families. Then, we'll see if they want to engage in their cowboy attitudes towards the rest of the world.
