UK Must Rebalance US-Europe Relationship

Interesting report from the Chatham House entitled, ‘Blair’s Foreign Policy and its Possible Successor(s)’:

"The root failure of Tony Blair’s foreign policy has been his inability to influence the Bush administration in any significant way despite the sacrifice - military, political and financial - that the United Kingdom has made. Blair has learned the hard way that loyalty in international politics counts for nothing and his successor will not make the same mistake of offering unconditional support for US initiatives in foreign policy at the expense of a more positive relationship with Europe."   [RJ]
