They DO stand beside the people of Great Britian - just not within the

Ban lifted on Tuesday.


And the ban was requested by the Brits, not by the US.


Do you have any factual source for that claim? It contradicts all news
reports I've seen, in which the US military said it issued the ban for the
safety of US troops (with no mention of any request from Britain), and
British authorities (including Tony Blair) said they'd pressed the US to
*end* the ban.
