do you think the british are crying today?

lol...nope...they are too busy kissing our butts.

Not really, on contrary, when Mr Blair was a prime minister, Great Britain was the first country to offer the USA help against "terrorism", & we shouldn't forget that helping hand, however, I wonder what the policies will be now, that the same(Great Britain) has a new prime minister. I don't believe that the iraqui war is a mistake, although war is brutal, but defeat shouldn't be the answer. "Terrorism" is unacceptable, & the whole world should be combating, not only Israel, USA, Nato, or Great Britain.

I think some British might be thinking "Good Riddance" and others could care less. Really, it is our holiday and I am guessing that the majority of British people aren't really giving it another thought. I am thankful however, that our two countries are friends. I am very proud as an American to have the great nation of England as our ally and friend.

I would think they would be breathing a collective sigh of relief, given that the recent bomb attacks were failures, and a war that occurred centuries ago is the last thing on their mind.

I seriously doubt it. When I was there, we were at a show and the MC asked if anyone from the former colonies was there. I think it's just a good-natured joke for both of us.

i asked a similar question today, and i think it means about as much to them as the civil war means to us....well the north at least (hicks cant let it go)...

The children of his enemies cry because he isn't thier dad.

More like dancing in the streets.

The average Briton doesn't know or understand about today and those who do don't care.

No - they are celebrating!! Britain was made pure on the 4th July!

I'm not!! I respect your right to rejoice and celebrate!!

Have a great day!
