<< I've been pleased with Tony Blair.

You might not be so please if you were paying tax in Britain. Tony's not bad for a Labour Party leader (he's a "third way" lib, like Clinton) but he's still [A totalitarian socialist!]

Don't get me wrong, I give him all the credit in the world on the Iraq issue, but if I was a Brit I'd be voting Conservative. Don't forget that Duncan Smith and the Conservatives have been solid on the war as well. They could have taken advantage of the situation to bring Blair down, but they didn't. They've opposed him where he's wrong [On domestic issues] and unhesitatingly supported him where he's right [On Iraq] with none of the odious political "positioning" our own Democratic Party has cynically engaged in. >>

Blair is a serially-lying, domestic-terrorist-appeasing, British-sovereignty-surrendering socialist monster who, despite having seemed to be a strong and decent man these past few months has simply been positioning himself and his execrable Labour Party thugs to further hasten once-great Britain's demise as he rushes it from the First World and deeper and irreversably into the EURO-peon Neo-Soviet. As that squalidly-socialist and abjectly-corrupt Frankensteinian bureaucracy's satellite state!

He's still too fond of running to the U.N.; one can hope that Prez W. can help him see the error of that.

As to your other remarks, I would observe that Blair is a practical politician who may be rethinking the entire EU matter. Given his support among the non-Weasels in Old Europe and in all of New Europe, Blair may have recognized the impotence and futility of the EU as a military force (Kosovo before U.S. intervention) and he already opposes the new French federal EU constitution.

As much as any of us might like Winston Churchill today, his early political career was truly loopy and useless. We have to keep in mind that political leaders sometimes grow in office due to unavoidable events. Blair may have a change of heart, having seen that the EU stands for nothing and is powerless and that EU federalization is disadvantagous to British interests. The recent debacle at the U.N. may have opened his eyes somewhat.

We'll know if he's really learned something when we see if he tries to insist bringing in the U.N. and the Weasels on Iraqi reconstruction.
