A great statement by England's Prime Minister Tony Blair:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American
sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony
Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his
Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said:

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want
in... how many want out. Only two defining forces have ever offered to die
for you:

1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom."

I'm glad you all liked it as much as I do. It really got me where I "live". I admit our country isn't perfect, but I truly can't think of any other I'd rather live in or be protected by. My Dad was a vet and instilled in us a very strong sense of patriotism. His short Army carreer was one of his proudest accomplishments, so he was determined to pass his love of the USA down to his kids.

It was my aunt, (Dads baby sister) who shared this with me.

I think a lot of british people will agree with Tony Blair.
