I don’t want to overdo

I don’t want to overdo the Al Gore commentary, but William Bennett's piece on OpinionJournal this morning is worth reading (The link wasn't working earlier but should be now). I especially like this quote:

Let us get one thing straight, once and for all: Allies are good to have, but at the end of the day, it is Great Britain and the U.S. that matter. When oppressed people protest their dictators, they do not march with symbols of the Eiffel Tower and statements from Otto von Bismarck: they march with papier-mâché Statues of Liberty and excerpts from the Declaration of Independence.
