A great topic to write about and it looks as though your story may turn into an epic if you follow it the whole way through. I just wanted to point out a few things that I felt could have been done a little differently. For instance the introduction is a bit clunky. I think you may want to try and be a bit more 'romantic' with the language. I hope that didn't sound to abstract. Take out the United States, George Bush, Great Britain stuff and write as if its one of those intro's to a Star Wars movie. Also you spelled story wrong at least once that I noticed. Otherwise this looks as though it will become a pretty good story.
