I have seen it said that some of the anti-US/anti-Bush stuff from UKers is about their fear that Blair is sure to copy Bush policy/actions.

I'd just like to know-- if this is the case, why waste even a minute's thought on Bush-sniping, when their time, energy, and persuasive writing are therefore so urgently needed in their own country's political arena? Why bash Bush instead of out-doing US voters?

SHOW me what's wrong with Blair and you might win an ally. I can't see it through the fog of cultural difference, my lack of grasp on UK history, and the pervasive anti-US tone. Geoff the Duck painted a clear picture for me once, in about 5 minutes' conversation, about the economic scene. I'd like to understand more, but at Mudcat, so far all I can hear is hatred toward us. In fact I hear that more loudly than I hear Islamic hatred of the west, in terms of daily life.
