Well Blair heavily covered Bush's ass this time around (the whole
"coalition" thing) so the godfather is even.

Blair covered Bush's ass with what?
With lives?
--Or with words?

Mostly words.

We do appreciate his words of support and the political risks he personally
took.
We also appreciate those British soldiers who serve and risk their lives
along side those from the US.
But...before we draw tit-for-tat comparisons, I think it deserves a
consideration that is in reasonable proportion.
There is really little/no comparison between the two wars in terms of
sacrifice and toll as assisting allies.
That is not to say that it should have been similarly proportioned, either.
I just think we should be slower to equate the two acts of assistance.
They are extremely dissimilar in terms of sacrifice and service.
