""Perhaps you might relax a bit.""

Pretty hard to do that when you get insulting comments aimed at your country.

""It is debatable if Britain is a real "World Power," I would say that she is not that.""

But that wasn't the issue. The other poster called Britain a ""totally ineffective non-player"".

I would ask him what on earth he thinks Britain has been doing during this war of terror these last few years as well as their role in Iraq and Afganistan. Non player? The British?????? If it wasn't for the British the Americans would be all alone in this. If Britain is a 'non player' then how come Britian is now a major Islamic terrorist target due to their side by side stance with the U.S.A?

He call say what he likes about France and Germany but it is an absolute insult to accuse Britain (the U.S.A's only real ally in this world) of being an "ineffective non player".

""I would also say that I am very happy indeed to have those Brits in Iraq. And the Poles, as well.

Welcome to FR.""

Thank you.

The brits are not really playing anything. The US planned, the UK obeyed like the rest.
