London's Bridge is falling down

When we started this blog, one of our flimsier aims was to write about the ins and outs of the relationship between our two countries: Aaron's an anglophile, I have an unhealthy fascination with American politics, we were wasting valuable time emailing each other about these things anyway, so we thought we might as well publish some of our ramblings. In this aim, we have spectacularly failed, even in weeks where we do manage more than one post.

At last, though, a story too good not to comment on. So, of course, I've commented somewhere that isn't here. (Whoopsie.) Over at the Sharpener:

I'm about as pro-American as anyone you'll find on the British left, and I agree that the Bush-Blair relationship is a sick joke. But... I think Myers has misunderstood the Prime Minister's motives on this one (...) Asking what Blair wanted in exchange for invading Iraq is a meaningless question. It's like asking what Tom Cruise would want in exchange for accepting an Oscar.
