US frailty doesn't just exist in the European imagination

America needs the outside world as much as it needs America

Try this exercise: imagine that Britain had joined France and Germany
in refusing to support the war on Iraq. Where would we be today? We
would still have had a war, since it was never a convincing argument
that British support was a necessary condition for American action.
But what else would have been the same, and what else different?
Certainly, Tony Blair would not have been in the kind of trouble he is
in, although the Conservatives would no doubt have been galvanised by
a government they could have attacked as both anti-American and
pro-European. David Kelly would still be alive, as would Sergeant
Steven Roberts of the Royal Tank Regiment, and a judge called Hutton
would not have become suddenly famous.
