Troops’ withdrawal
Re “Britain picks its battles carefully,” Feb. 22
So Britain and Denmark are pulling their troops out of Iraq. I wonder what Washington will do now? When politicos were unhappy with France’s view of Iraq, they renamed French fries “freedom fries” in a fit of childish sullenness. What’s going to happen to English breakfast tea and the morning Danish?

President Bush, why is Britain withdrawing troops from Iraq “a good sign”? It just means the U.S. will have to take a bigger role in the disaster in Iraq. If Britain sees Iraq as a lost cause, why can’t we?
