"Back away from this confrontation now and future conflicts will be infinitely worse and more devastating."
And he said that to retreat now, he believed, "would put at hazard all that we hold dearest ... tell our allies that at the very moment of action, at the very moment they need our determination, that Britain faltered. I will not be party to such a cause."
During the 1990s it was very fashionable to compare this young Labor leader to President Bill Clinton. I read a lot of stories that said he had no substance, but a great eye for the camera and an ear for the soundbite. As our biggest ally since 911, and his willingness to ignore the liberal appeasers in his own party, he has shown a strength that no one imagined. He's been a constant voice of support and a welcoming one in the wake of world opinion. The United States should offer Britain and like countries entry into NAFTA and convince them to forget the European Union. We should reward our allies with our economic pie and deny this right to those countries too skittish to join us.
