Indeed hingsight!!! I do admit to having a little too much maybe but wringing my hands!!! No that would be sick and nasty and to be honest you do have a good point about 'whats the solution'. As a chap who has lived in the US (on off for 5/6 years)as a child and much later as an adult I loved it and the people but you were sooo insulated from reality of the big bad world. The solution is: well you are doing it now but unfortunately it took the wake up call of all time(for the US that is) 11th sept.
Now your nation is a lot more frightened, suspicious,uneasy which we over here in Europe have been since the year dot. I grew up in Belfast and the contrast when we moved to the US in 1976 was incredable. It is a sad thing to say but the US has just been woken up by these vile people.(not folks)
As for bush and his speaches well enough said I think. As for Tony Blair I think he is looking for an Oscar and might just win one with his modern day period drama!!!!
