Your best friends

You only find out who your friends are in a crisis and they do not ask for a payback for their help. For America, in the war against terrorism, this means only the other English speaking countries. However I do not know how long America can count on the support of my own country (Great Britain) for despite the backing of Mr Blair, he has a competing great love for the European Project. Shortly, a constitution will be drawn up and agreed for a United States of Europe and without even seeking the approval of the electorate we will be locked forever in a Franco-German Empire. Do not expect any help from this Soviet Union Mark 2.
