Yo:
Just THIS in from The Observer...
Britain has dramatically broken ranks with George Bush over the Lebanon crisis, publicly criticising Israel's military tactics and urging the Americans to 'understand' the price being paid by ordinary Lebanese civilians.
The remarks, made in Beirut today by the Foreign Office Minister, Kim Howells, were the first public criticism of the US voiced by Britain. The Observer can also reveal that Tony Blair urged restraint in a private telephone convseration with the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, last week.

That phone call was not long after Tony was greeted with a "Yo, Blair"...and the German Chancellor got a public, unwanted shoulder rub in Saint Petersburg.
I wish somebody was making this up.
OY!
