If I was English, I too would be voting Conservative; however, that doesn't keep me from appreciating what he's done for us in this current conflict.

Not me!

If my ancestors had not long ago already emigrated from that sorry failing socialist state I would emigrate!

For, just as there is no Declaration of Independence, ther is no Constitution, there is no Bill of Rights and there exists no Principle of Individual Liberty [And "Britain" is pretty much what Blair and or any of Britain's effective elected dictators says it is or can force it to be!] there are no Conservatives in England -- and never have been.

The position occupied in the political spectrum by the creature the British call a "conservative" is so far to left of that held by a left-wing American "DemocRAT" as to be incomparable even with one of those!

British "Conservative" Party policies are aimed only at getting control of that increasingly-squalid socialist state's power over all of its "subjects" and of every means of creation, innovation, production, manufacture, transportation,and sale -- and of the "redistribution" [By way, for example of the abjectly failed "national health service"]and other squanderings of the confiscated wealth of the few remaining British creators, innovators, producers, manufacturers and other workers.

<< .... and however, that doesn't keep me from appreciating what he's done for us in this current conflict. >>

Or to US?

The show continues and [Although President Bush has recently, thank God, rebuffed most of his more recent attempts at importuning further collectivist panderings] we have yet to see the end of Blair's three-card-monte-like répertoire.

Best ones -- Brian
