Thanks Boab. Are you in England? I agree with you that the US is not always doing admirable things. Do you feel that Blair wants to increase the UK's involvement in the things done by the US that may be less than admirable?

One of the things that interested me about the speach was what he had to say about Africa. Do you think he genuinely cares about the plight of the nations that are in dire straits in Africa, or was there some way he could have benefitted politically from the things he said about it?
