Not since Suez, the last time the UK got to play at soldiers against the US wishes was the Falklands.

The UK has a huge amount of investment in the US, if the US were to treat the UK like it did France after they refused to join the 'coalition of the willing' it would do a lot more harm to the UK economy than boycotting Perrier did to France's

Canada refused to join the coalition of willing for Iraq and we are the US largest trading partner.
