British Prime Minister Visits US: No One Pays Attention
Yesterday’s Globe had, on page B4, a small item about Prime Minister Brown’s visit to the US. One could easily have missed it.
Brown’s carefully nuanced speach said that even if armed interventions had worked in Serbia he was there to say that Britain did not believe this was a policy for the future, even though Britain and the US had to ’stand together’ against terrorism.
Reading between the lines I’d say that Britain, which is basically the only firm fully-supportive ally the US still has outside its own borders - is saying that it won’t be doing that any more, thank you.
Doesn’t this strike anyone else as ominous?
