Iraq and 'The son of Star Wars' missile defence programme are the most prominent examples i can think of. We settled our debts with the US last year when the loan that they lended us in 1947 was paid off, so why is this government following old patterns of behaviour when it comes to global strategy?

Regarding UK Security:
I've been trying to enact Representative Ethical Oversight of the United States Government. Maybe a similar model would be useful in the UK.
~~~~~~~ My Proposal Follows - Click Links ~~~~~~~
Please help to establish a large, diverse, & representative ethical oversight committee for managing the National Security Agency (NSA)
The National Security Agency (NSA) by necessity currently collects information from ALL organizations without representative ethical oversight. This includes the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, ALL Political Representatives, FEMA, Greenpeace, the Medical Community, Insurance Companies, Research Groups, domestic or abroad, ...
Unfortunately, special interest groups not representing All Americans currently have access to direct and use Confidential data collection; which affects everyone, not just the US. Imagine large corporations influencing the prosperity of businesses based upon racial criteria; the NSA makes this possible.

The NSA currently does not have a system (people and software) to parse the great amounts of information available to create prioritized situational awareness for the benefit of "representative ethical oversight". Imagine a corporation influencing all that is associated with a University research project, to force access, or force a sale of intellectual property at a significantly lower cost. Now expand the ability of this corporation to influence all businesses, everywhere.
Please support my initiative to establish a large and diverse representative ethical oversight committee for monitoring and managing the NSA.

That is labour for you. If conservatives got back in then they would not be pushed around by these american capitalists who are quite frankly not very clever. I mean what was Bush thinking starting these multi-fronted wars and wanting to start going into Iran and North Korea. UK can not afford to send any more soldiers anywhere as they are already struggling on the two fronted war.

I live in Australia and I feel our government is a puppet to the Bush administration and putting us in a bad situation with our neighbouring countries and the rest of the world.

It's not about being friendly, It's about contributing in wrong actions. Hence, it is now more isolated.
