Britain's role in the conflict

[250]

Originally posted by Ronn_Bman: What is friendship but a mutual benefit? On an individual level, it's a person benefit. Friends make you feel good about yourself, and you derive pleasure from interaction with them. You enjoy making them happy, because it makes you happy, too. On the national level, we provide mutual assistance and we benefit from each others efforts. Why do you make this sound like it's less important than it is?

I dont know what you are trying to say, but to think nations can be like friends? bah, it is just plain naive

[Ronn_Bman]

What I'm trying to say, is that friendship is a relative term. It's obviously used in a different sense when refering to nations, but the implication is the same.

Obviously, we can't ask the UK over to Join US and Mexico for a few beers while we watch Monday Night Football, but what terminology would you use?
