[MR] what about our allies?

[Towey, Brian]

Since the Star Spangled Banner was written to commemorate a British attack
on America, it was more than touching.  It was a very bold diplomatic
statement.  I understand the Queen herself was there, and that she wept.
"Momentous" would be too weak a word.  "Wow" is more like it.
