Tony Blair, Superhero

Tony Blair is a lefty, but he's not soft on terrorism. He's going to fight to the finish. Good for him. Tony Blair is my hero. He laid out the case for the war in Iraq more eloquently than anyone else, and he has defended it more forcefully than anyone else. I don't agree with all his ideas, but if he were over here, I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Why is there no one like him here in America? He would definitely be on the other side of the aisle from George W. Bush, but I would vote for a Democrat like that. Or like Harry S. Truman, or a host of others. Senator Kerry, though, is just not a choice for anyone who is serious about the war on terror. And the entire Democratic party seems determined to alienate anyone who is serious about it, like Joe Lieberman. Too bad.
