A bit of gratitude from Englands new Prime Minister
No matter the outcome of the talks between President Bush and the new Prime Minister of England, Gordon Brown, this statement from Englands relatively new leader is encouraging.
“And we should acknowledge the debt the world owes to the United States for its leadership in this fight against international terrorism,” he added.
Mr. Brown appears to desire a close relationship both with the President and the United States and if he is a strong leader he will have just that. He gives the impression that he understands there is no better friend than America and the bond between the two countries must be preserved.
“It is firmly in the British national interest that we have a strong relationship with the US, our single most important bilateral relationship.”
Mr Brown said the shared ideals of two centuries of history “have linked the destinies” of the two countries.
While the President enjoyed a tremendous relationship with Tony Blair, I think it is only fair to see what Prime Minister Brown brings to the table. Based on his remarks, and not those of others within his government, I believe he has laid the foundation for Britain and America to remain not two countries with one foreign policy but allies who recognize the threats the world is facing in this century.
As for the debt the world owes the United States, we have always given generously in money, manpower, technology and shed much blood for those in need. I cannot imagine living in an America where its people would do any the less.

Britain, Australia and Israel are the three friends we can count on in a pinch. The rest of the world…yeck!
