They DO stand beside the people of Great Britian - just not within the
M25!
:-)

Ban lifted on Tuesday.

And the ban was requested by the Brits, not by the US.

London has pretty much just picked itself up and gotten on with it.

Not a bit surprised, evidently the British don't scare easily.
You have our best wishes, carry on.

US Military commanders have banned their personnel from visiting London.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4673987.stm

Details of the travel ban, enforced on Friday, emerged as US President
George W Bush said the US would "not retreat in the face of terrorists"
..

He said: "In this difficult hour, the people of Great Britain can know
the
American people stand with you."

Oh well

Not true from all the reports I've read and would contradict everything else
the leaders in London have been telling the population (go back to work,
return to your normal life, etc)

They asked (demanded?) the _Americans_ to stay out of town. Another British
offical then recinded the demand/request.

I posted the link to the report the other day.

Where? The only link I saw from you in this thread addressing the matter is:
http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0...385130,00.html
and that link says nothing about any British request for Americans to stay
out of town.

Do you have any factual source for that claim? It contradicts all news
reports I've seen, in which the US military said it issued the ban for the
safety of US troops (with no mention of any request from Britain), and
British authorities (including Tony Blair) said they'd pressed the US to
*end* the ban.
