Give some examples.
What tends to happen is the leader of the UK thinks what the leader of the US does is a "good idea" and joins in, to show how good friends we are, and that we enjoy a "special relationship".
This is not always the case. The UK did not invade Vietnam, after all.
The UK has historically had a heck of a lot of help from the US - World War I, late entry, BAM, we win - thank you. World War II - phew! During the Cold War, we were protected by a NATO, funded largely by the US. So, perhaps the leader of the UK thinks we owe the US, and hence we often follow them into dubious conflicts...

I emigrated to Canada in 1975 and grew to advance right into a citizen in1978.My spouse is Canadian and initially from the Praries and now has British citizenship besides.We moved back to Britain in 1996(long tale) yet nevertheless love Canada. i think of Canadians are wonderful people and enjoyed my time there. Pity approximately all the folk who don't be attentive to the version between Canada and the States!

Erm...hello!!?? Do you actually think we have a choice?! Do you think we *want* Tony Blair to kow-tow to George Bush's every whim and fancy?! Were there not over 1000000 people who protested in a huge march against the Iraq war to absolutely no avail?! Do you not think we wish Blair would just STOP doing whatever Bush wants him to and that we do not wonder why on earth someone has not yet assassinated the bumbling fool of a president?! So many others were before him and they were much better presidents!

I don't think us Brits are pushed around by the US. I think it is more of an affinity that we have with each other. After all we are party in helping to create the USA with the Pilgrim Fathers and all that.
We have kicked the backsides of all the European countries that have tried to push us around though.

Because we are still in the middle of the banana war with america. We will wait and then one day we will leave with as much money as possible.
That's the stuff you don't learn about at school.

No - Margaret Thatcher told President Bush Snr her view - then she told him his.
You are probably right about Blair though.

Its not the Brits that allow this...its Tony Blair. You cannot blame the people for the idiocy of their leader, any more than we should blame Americans for Bush's stupidity.
Any Brits (or Europeans, for that matter) that I have spoken to have little respect for the US.

So because the British and the Americans shared the same view on something, that means the Americans forced them to? Whatever...

It's not the Brits it's our crap government. I don't know why they do it, because Bush doesn't seem able to string a sentence together let alone run a country!!! He is more of an idiot than Blair!

You see, In Britain we have been doing our best to destroy the planet for years, only we were not getting very far. So the USA being experts, we decided to join forces, all we have to do now is get China on board and hey Presto! melt down.
