We're still the whipping boy

Thanks to the EU Referendum Blog for an article about the arcane area of American arms export regulations.

What this boils down to is that the American Congress is still refusing to grant us a waiver for their draconian arms export regulations. I'm not condemning Congress - after all they are the legislative body of a military power. However, those who say that the Americans are going to do anything other than small or token favours for us are mistaken.

Our co-operation with America in The War Against Terror counts for nothing whenever a real decision is made.
