Rule Brittania?

As someone who has spent alot of time in the UK, I have to say that I am dismayed by the capture of the Royal Navy sailors by the Iranians while on a anti-smuggling patrol. This is a stunt that the Iranians have done to embarass the Brits and to take attention away from the growing nuclear crisis there. The British have always been Euro skeptics and have preferred to usually go along with the US on foreign policy, the current debacle in Iraq has proven to perhaps be the straw that broke the Atlantic Alliances back. More and more Britons are wanting to become more integrated in the EU. This would be a shame for this country to lose our oldest and best ally, but it may be inevitable if we pursue our current neocolonial foreign policy, pretty ironic if our former colonial masters split with us because of our imperial ways in the mideast.
