" The idea that a handful of wannabe martyrs from the Home Counties and London are the ‘biggest threat to US security’ is laughable. Forget Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan, it is Great Britain – capital: Londonistan – that poses the ‘biggest threat to US security’. At least that is the claim made in an article titled ‘Kashmir on the Thames’ by Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank in the current issue of respected US weekly the New Republic. The article has caused a stir, even something of a stink, on both sides of the Atlantic. Both the London Times and Telegraph ran news articles claiming that our one-time American cousins now view Britain as a hotbed of fanatical anti-American jihadism rather than home of ‘cream teas, the Royal Family and Big Ben’. Others argue that, for all UK prime minister Tony Blair’s alleged ‘poodling’ to President George W Bush, this article shows that the special relationship is faltering." [Gov & Pol; Society]
