THINK: Obama, Iraq and England

LONDON -- I’ve spent the last week or so traveling in England and keeping an eye to the British press about their takes on issues important in U.S election. People here are certainly aware of who is running. John McCain was even in London last Thursday, visiting with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

The most striking coverage of American events has been surrounding the five-year anniversary of the war in Iraq. While there was plenty of coverage – news, editorials, breakdown of costs – there was little on the streets of London to commemorate five years of war. (On Saturday, March 15, sources tell me a massive protest of 40 – 50,000 people marched down Whitehall to Parliament to protest the U.K.’s involvement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wish I’d seen it, but it pales in comparison to the hundreds of thousands who marched in protest as the war convened.)
