But when it comes to foreign policy, the USA's all British. The current American sphere of influence mimicks the Old British Empire almost exactly. Where Britain was once involved, such as Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Middle East, we get involved almost by default. So though George Bush and Tony Blair were partners and allies in the War in Iraq and the War in Afghanistan, the current occupant of the White House and David Cameron will not be allies when it comes to the EU debt crisis.
