The call by British parliamentarians for an end to the use of the phrase “special relationship” to describe the long affair of Britain and America will, we predict, come to be seen by historians as one of the tragedies of the Obama years. The parliamentarians, members of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, issued their call in a report released on today. The news service MarketWatch quotes one member of the committee, Mike Gapes, as characterizing the report point as being that “a more hard-headed political approach towards our relationship with the U.S. with a realistic sense of our own limits and our national interests.”
