won't this actually lead to the demise of UK & USA as being the most powerful countries and alliance in the 'free' world today? With another or others to fill the void. Surely if others (for whatever insane reasons) hate the USA & UK so much they (the UK & USA I mean) must be doing something wrong. Aren't they at least A LITTLE culpable? I always thought the unholy alliance of Reagan/Thatcher smacked more of western triumphalism than it did a real ideological upholding up western freedom & democracry. And so it is too with Blair/Bush.
