I disagree entirely - I think in a sense it is quite condescending to the British. Yes, they were fucked out of their position as a superpower, but they are certainly not a vassal state. They may have (under the auspices of a dimwit Prime Minister) followed us into Iraq, but they didn't in Vietnam. They've broken with us in terms of their recent economic parleying with China, joining their international investment group and etc. We didn't fuck them out of Iran - hell, we ousted a government that had the potential to be friendly with us because of the British!
