Ah I see America did it all by its lonesome. Har har.
I think that was Pierre Trudeau, one time Canadian Prime Minister who said "Being a close neighbour of the U.S. is like sleeping with an elephant, you are very careful should the elephant roll over". Or words to that effect.
As regards Tony Blair several of my English cousins referred to him as Pinocchio (see Jcrickets avatar).
