Now, I’ve always been a fan of the British. Especially since we kicked their butts back in 17-something. I don’t trust Tony though. Wasn’t he Clinton-lite back before the Iraq War? Now he’s Bush-lite. Doesn’t seem to principled. But here’s an interesting point from Denis Boyles at NRO.
But the lesson for Americans is that at least for the moment we have found our natural European allies — and they aren’t British after all. They’re the happy Italians. They don’t care about European pomposity, they dress better than the Germans, they eat better than the French, they drive better than anybody, and they make stupid jokes about American TV. They’re just like us!
