The Anglosphere

The USA, the UK, Australia and Canada as a committed military and cultural alliance would have immense reach. Superbly endowed with human capital, physical resources and a martial and self-correcting culture, that alliance would attract Israel, India, Japan, Eastern Europe. There would be huge gains for the security of all. Oh, and include brave Denmark as a founding member.

US foreign policy should remorselessly promote a formal Anglosphere alliance . That means winning hearts and minds in countries with an anti-American MSM nearly equal to your own. That means preferential treatment both ways to the countries who've fought together through several wars. Screu the EU.

I agree there's a problem with indigenous Islamists. That needs fixing under any scenario; reverse dhimmitude, perhaps.

This is a long-term project. Articulate it now. Start soon. Meanwhile many of us suave British males have been breeding with your most beautiful womenfolk and re-colonising the USA. There's Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Guy Ritchie, me, und,und,und..

Tattoo this on Baker's forehead

"For the rest of the world, the Iraq war isn't about Iraq; it's about America, and American will" - Steyn.

If America walks from Iraq, it will be challenged everywhere and will have to fight multiple wars or surrender its self-determination or both. Millions will die in those wars. Which future Tony Blair will risk his political life to help America in an unpopular war if Iraq is surrendered America is beaten now ?

The battle for influence between Bush snr "realists", like Baker, and Bush jnr "warriors", like Cheney, may define the history of the 21st century.

The "realists" are in the ascendant because the issue has not been correctly defined. It's not about Iraq. It's about America.
