Hardly!I don't think Britain is a pet of the US. That role is taken by Canada.
Britain is a strong country, even though they seem to be dismantling their military(), and definately not in America's pocket.
The Anglo-American alliance (which includes Australia and Canada) is a huge force for good in the world.
Re: Greatest Ally or Lapdog?
Its an Alliance most definetly. Same with Aus.
Viva La Rasa!!!

Re: Greatest Ally or Lapdog?
Living in the Caymans, it's always funny seeing an American and British person meet and talk for the first time... they seem to disagree on everything until they go to a pub or Cantina for a few drinks, you'd swear they were brothers with different accents. No matter where you come from, if you speak english and are drunk, everyone sounds about the same. I like the British as much as the Americans, both are good to hang around given in adequate portions.

Really it depends who's in power. Blair is quite the lapdog on most issues.

Blair's a lapdog to Bush. The countries are allies.

Re: Greatest Ally or Lapdog?
Wrong. It should be to 'tow' the line. What you wrote made no sense in English.To toe the line is perfectly fine english, it does not have to be spelt tow
It does seem at times as though the UK is in the wake of the US as she blunders around the world upsetting everyone. But as JAG said, it is a misconception. There are many areas that we dont agree on, hell just look at these boards.
We do have a lot in common. A shared history, a love of freedom and democracy and the English language. I believe that the English speaking world generally gets on well with each other, is that the same for Francophones and Spanish speakers?
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
