After many good years as Prime Minister of Great Britain Tony Blair will step down after he had regrettably followed Bush and the United States into war with Iraq, and also many failed peace talks with Northern Ireland. He will be followed by his close friend Gordon Brown, who will take over his party’s power and become the new Prime Minister; this does mean problems for Bush and his efforts in Iraq. The new Prime Minster has been noted as saying that what Blair did, send their troops to die in Iraq, will not be tolerated any more and he will end their fruitless effort with the war. This is a good idea since Bush initially forced Blair to help him out when Britain has nothing to gain by going to war and everything to lose by staying home; since Iraq never attacked them they sent troops to fight a battle that had nothing to do with them or their country. Even though Bush may give the new Prime Minister a hard time about retracting their troops he should stick with what is best for his country and their people, not what is best for America. Still I think that what Britain has helped us get into is partially their responsibility and if they were to extract their troops it would leave ours out to dry, and in doing so would leave all Americans, that still believe din the war, a sour taste with any regards to Britain in the future. Also if they took their troops out I think it would only cause future problems in which Britain may need Americas help and we may turn them down because of what happened now.
