<map><area><area></map><img>On globalisation- If you were to heed sone commentators you would believe that Globalisation spells the end of the state as we have known it over the centuries. But they are wrong, it does not. What it actually does is to prevent- in some degree- the state from doing that which it should never have been doing in the first place. ~(intro)
On the war on terror In Britain we know how much we owe to America. We understand how close our countries are. America’s cause is, and always will be, our cause. The message I bring to you today is that Britain is united with America in the war against terrorism (p 19 quoted from a speech given in Oct 2001)
On America America is more than a nation or a state or a superpower; it is an idea – and one which has transformed and continues to transform us all. America is unique- in its power, its wealth, its outlook on the world. But its uniqueness has roots, and those roots are essentially English. p 20
The historical roots or our Anglo American relationship are many. A shared language, a shared literature, a shared legal system, a shared religion, and a finely woven blanket of customs and traditions from the very begining, that have set our two nations apart from others.(p22)
America alone has the moral as well as the material capacity for world leadership (p24)
