By me, that’s easy: Britain. Britain and the old Dominions shed blood side by side with us in WW2 fighting Hitler and Tojo. Britain was the first in Europe to stand with us in 1990 after Saddam invaded Kuwait. Britain stood by us and shed blood with us in Afghanistan and Iraq. Britain gave the US two of the best friends the USA has ever had - Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. No, Britain is not perfect, but if I were a grunt and the US was in trouble, I’d want to see Brits, Canadians, Australians, and Israelis sharing my foxhole.

France gave us the US-hating/Britain-hating De Gaulle and the similar anti-US type successors until Sarkozy. Sarkozy seems like a good guy, but let’s wait and see. France has given me a lot of reasons not to trust her, at least not too quickly.

One good thing about this : is that the old media and the DUmmies will be very upset.
