Sorry to continue the thread, but thats a whole new thread right there Fred.
In short, it was part of a plan to regain some on the ground presence in the region. In the run-off from 9/11 Bush phoned up all the world leaders that mattered and asked 'Are you with us or against us?' What would your reply have been at that point Fred? At what point would you have ended all economic ties with the US and decided to merge the pound with the Euro?
'Cos as far as I can see, that was the only real alternative. Personally I think it would have been the better move, but I wasnt in No 10, and nor were you.
Rock....
a whole load of human beings that didnt have a say in the matter
..........Hardplace
I think I've got sympathies for everyone involved in that one. Except for Bush maybe ( and Al Q obviously )
