Brown stands by Bush

The new British Prime Minister is defying those who report the demise of the Atlantic Alliance. Via the NY Sun:

Britain's new prime minister, Gordon Brown, has disappointed
American and British critics of the war in Iraq by declaring that he believes
the West is involved in a "generation-long battle" against radical Islamic
terrorism, that he believes the American mission in Iraq is worthwhile, and that
he will stand by President Bush in his efforts to promote democracy in Iraq and
in the rest of the Middle East.
After a four-hour meeting yesterday, which
followed a two-hour discussion with the president at Camp David over dinner
Sunday night, Mr. Brown offered little encouragement to those who hoped that the
departure of Prime Minister Blair from Downing Street would lead to a weakening
of the traditional alliance between America and Britain or would diminish the
British resolve in Iraq.

More importantly, he is dashing the hopes of the enemies of democracy in the Middle East. The more I read about this new "Brownie", the better I like him. The UK is in good hands and Al Qaeda is on the run!
