[Captain Kirk]

What "left" are you talking about? Surely, not Blair's Labour Party a member of the Socialist International in good standing, or the "new Europe" allies of Poland, Slovakia, and Hunrary (ruled by former commie surrender monkeys who are also members of the Socialist International). Could you mean Chirac who defeated the Socialist party last year much to the applause of the freepers?

I suppose the "knee-jerk" adjective would refer to the extreme left, who oppose only the wars of Republican presidents. You are correct in your assessment of Blair's and Chirac's origins but haven't they gone in opposite directions since 9-11? Blair to the right and Chirac to the anti-war camp?
