I'm British, by the way.

Answer 1

So that's what Mandelson has been up to!

Answer 2

I like the idea of the website because we british are hard to please, some people are against the war but if our dear Tony had not gone and supported the war, it will be the same people that will start moaning, complaining, parading, marching against Tony because 'how can you stand there and watch these terrorists murder innocent people and do nothing about it, why wont you support American in trying to eliminate terrorists' (thats what there be saying). so yeah. its about time that some gratitude was showed towards a great man. I dont know who im gonna vote for when Tony steps down. the next guy better be as good or better than Tony otherwise im going democartic.

Answer 3

Thank You Tony.

For willfully ignoring the largest mass protest in modern history, and assuming you knew more than your electorate.

For assuring the British people there was sufficient evidence of weapons of mass destruction to justify a war, when evidence was never found.

For stating against all the evidence that high-level intelligence of weapons capable of causing a credible threat to the UK could be deployed within 45 minutes, when this intelligence was later proved to come from a graduate thesis, rather than any believable source.

For helping slap the face of the UN and its weapons inspectors, who repeatedly warned they had not found weapons and requested more time to complete their task.

For pressuring Dr David Kelly, or allowing him to be pressured by others, for the act of bringing inconsistencies in the government's intelligence over the war to the light of day. You may remember he is now dead.

For isolating the UK in Europe.

For betraying the hopes and dreams of several generations of left-wing supporters by committing the nations sons and daughters to dust in a war that no-one understands.

For continuing to allow by indifference the sale of weapons and torture equipment to dictatorships and unelected regimes worldwide, while claiming to be an advocate of democracy on the world stage.

And for responding to acts of terrorism by instilling a climate of fear and putting armed police on the streets of the UK without any public consultation, fundamentally changing the nature of the country.

Yeah. Thank you Tony.

Answer 4

Tony deserves credit for his amazing programes for Africa and the developing world. No one else has done anyhting like it.

But I also am fed up that our country is always kissing America's ***. Yes, we're friends and allies...but why must Britian walk in America's footsteps? We make fun of France sometimes but at least that country stands up for what is beleieves in and is autonomous.

Britain is a great country with some really good policies but I think we are wrecking our standing and reputation in the world by always towing America's line.

It is more important to have a personality of your own, be sincere and have integrity than it is to be have unequal "friendships" with the powerful.

And if America was internationally isolated (by other country's opinions) wouldn't that have at leats some affect?

Answer 5

Answer; as another person said where's the don't agree button.
But the reason I answered is.....Skooter.."Heck yes!" because it is a PRIVILEGE to be allied with the U.S. Don't forget that!!!
How priviledged do the following former and current allies of the USA feel now.
Mexico, South Korea, South Veitnam, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Japan, etc etc.... Join the American Military see Different exotic Places, meet different exotic people, and Bomb the poor buggers

Answer 6

It's a bit grim, isn't it. I thought it had to be some kind of a prank site when I first saw it! They're shipping thank-you books to Downing Street every week? Damn. If only there were that many complaints about the man... I don't think many people still like him here, but there's no serious replacement...

Answer 7

It sucks, but there is no real difference between the two countries anymore anyway. The US was formed by the English and neither country seems to be able to keep their noses out of other peoples business. They should both take care of their own people and leave the rest alone.

Answer 8

I think it must be a joke.I can definately say tho that Gordon Brown won't thank Tony for anything.Hope it's hot n sunny in Manchester it is down here in London.Cheers Teach and keep smiling xx

Answer 9

I'd thank Tony if the thought along the same lines as Enoch Powell.

Answer 10

Of course the Americans love Tony Blair- I would love it if I had a gutless sycophant following my every command.

Answer 11

I think the UK (or the UK Prime MInister) should challenge the US (or the US President) much much more. And even when we agree on things, we should challenge the way things are done. Not just for the sake of it, but when it's necessary.
