Comments on: Blair’s foreign policy: the aftermath http://sharpener.johnband.org/2006/12/blairs-foreign-policy-the-aftermath/ Trying to make a point Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:21:35 +0000 hourly 1 By: Klaus http://sharpener.johnband.org/2006/12/blairs-foreign-policy-the-aftermath/#comment-58182 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 09:47:43 +0000 http://www.thesharpener.net/2006/12/19/blairs-foreign-policy-the-aftermath/#comment-58182 Though UK was the only country to send a large number of troops to help USA in Iraq, I think the idea of a Europe opposed to the Iraq war was just not true. Even if Blair had not joined the invasion, the EU could not have found a common stance. A list of those who supported: Spain, Holland, UK, Denmark, Poland, Italy, and other Eastern European countries. Though people on the street in Western Europe were nearly unanimously opposed to Iraq, its politicians weren’t. It’s something Americans frequently get wrong.

My point is; USA invading Iraq was what divided EU, not Blair.
