What's more telling is how unpopular the war is in Britain, and how an entire generation of Brits have now grown up thinking of the United States as a bullying, torturing force for instability in the world.
When Andrew Sullivan is right, he's right. In my case, part of the disappointment and anger comes on behalf of a little five year old boy that thought brilliant was practically a synonym for the United States, that assumed that all the best telly, toys and music had to come from the States. When, around ten years later, he discovered exactly what that country was up to, along with the country he grew up in, he was so appalled and I don't think he ever recovered.
