UK and U.S will stand together

Reader comment on item: Europeans: From Venus?

Submitted by Mike A W (United States), Jan 22, 2003 at 15:05

It was FDR and Churchill who won World War Two. It was Reagan and Thatcher who ended the Cold War. Now once more the world shall bury its head in the sand. Looks like just Bush and Blair this time. I have long wondered why only my nation and the U.S have the spine to stand up and fight evil.
