It's been really fascinating to watch and read people's thoughts and responses to Cameron's line this week that we were the "junior partner" to America in World War 2.  In particular, Nick Dennis posted a really interesting blog on his site, which other history teachers have responded to http://www.nickdennis.com/blog/?p=437&cpage=1#comment-273weeblylink_new_window

For me, Cameron's comment has really made me think about interpretations of history - how it is used and abused to illustrate arguments and serve purposes.  I can't help but wonder what word Cameron would've used about Britain's relationship with America if he was not concerned about cementing relations?
