One of the things that Britain seemed to be doing by co-operating with the U.S. was punching above its weight. I think the Iranian hostage situation has brought Britain back to reality, at least for a while.
And foorth they passe, with pleasure forward led, Ioying to heare the birdes sweete harmony, Which therein shrouded from the tempest dred, Seemd in their song to scorne the cruell sky. -- Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene, Canto I

Panda,
Britain simply doesn't have the muscle on its own to defuse the situation, and the U.S. is unlikely to risk a lot to intercede to aid the U.K.
VM,
That's really funny, BTW.
:)
cheers
