Why Blair always supports the US...

"I fear that if a US attack does take place, the prime minister will give it
his full support. And one of his reasons for doing so will be the same as in
Iraq: namely the fear that, if he alienates Bush, Britain's so-called
independent deterrent might be taken away. For, as I also learned when I was
energy secretary, Britain is entirely dependent on the US for the supply of
our Trident warheads and associated technology. They cannot even be targeted
unless the US switches on its global satellite system."

I thought that was probably why. They have us by the balls, and our hearts
and minds will follow.
