the preference is:
world against terrorism
well, I don't know much about the rest

but it seems you feel unfair when US Britan becomes best friend at time of crisis, and they were not before September 11th.
have we (mostly americans) not all bended together because of the attack on WTC towers? you can tell me it is a different thing between nations. well, I say it is the same just in lesser degree. and what has Britain got to lose if we eliminate terrorists (hopefully) once for all? when we have a commen goal, we should cooperate, instead of digging out the past. we can do that while both are satisifed, there is a time for everything
