"History has shown that there are times when countries must use force to defend the peace and to defend values,". Bush did not define which values he was referring to, nor when it is necessary to go to war.
Bush made it plain with British journalists that he is not backing down, and he will try to remind the British that they have a stake in the war. Britain has 9,000 soldiers in Iraq, the largest non-American force in the coalition. Blair hopes to clinch a deal on British detainees at the U.S. camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. There are now 10 Britons among more than 600 prisoners there, and London has complained about plans to try some under military tribunals.

"I intend to lead our nation, along with others like our close friends in Great Britain, to win this war on terror," Bush told the BBC.

American flags are being hung upside down to denote peril, the Bobbies do not normally carry firearms, but now they are equipped with automatic weapons for the occasion. Demonstrators plan to pull down a statue of Bush made of papier mache and chicken wire, to parody the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad.
One protester used a bullhorn to bark a stream of anti-Bush and anti-Tony Blair invective at Parliament Square Tuesday afternoon, comparing the two leaders to Hitler. "How can you be bombing babies, Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair? It is not Christian, it is blasphemy!"
