At the time we were still in the ‘doing anything for the special relationship’ phase. I don’t think any flavour of govt would have taken a different course.

A strong point but it didn't feel like it at the time; surely somebody influential would have raised this (although the tories backed Bush all the way). Didn't Harold W keep the UK out of Korea at the height of the Cold War?

No, we were in Korea I thought? We kept out of Vietnam, but I think the issue was more financial and that was (initially) less a war than a police action which escalated.

Oops, my bad. Vietnam was what I had in mind
