OT--It's amazing that this article was in the very liberal Guardian out of the UK.
Why Tony would vote for Dubya
His advisers have been telling Mr Blair he will be best served by regime change in Washington. The Prime Minister isn't convinced Andrew Rawnsley Sunday October 24, 2004 The Observer When George W Bush's poll ratings recently dipped, every Labour MP cheered. Correction: every Labour MP except one. The Prime Minister fretted to one close friend: 'Whenever Bush weakens in the polls, they start mucking about.' Who are these 'they' whose 'mucking about' makes Tony Blair so anxious? They are Iran with its sponsorship of terrorism and its ambitions to go nuclear. They are Syria. They are the psychotic regime in North Korea along with the rest of the planet's rogue and risk states. The mind of Mr Blair was summarised for me in vivid terms by someone who has an extremely good claim to know what is going on inside it: 'Tony thinks the world is a very dangerous and precarious place. Bush is the tough guy who keeps the bad guys under their rocks.' .... Bush has run for a second term as a 'War President'. Even if the reasons for his defeat were more complicated, his eviction from the White House would be widely taken as a vote of no confidence in the war by the country that led it. Even if this was not true, Islamic terrorism would claim it as a great victory. Tony Blair feels his reputation and fate are entwined with that of George W Bush. In the mind of the Prime Minister, nothing transcends the imperative to keep those 'bad guys' under 'their rocks'. What much of the world and the Labour Party fears about George W Bush is what commends him to the Prime Minister. If he had a vote, I strongly suspect that Tony Blair would cast it for Dubya. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I, too, believe PM Blair would vote for Bush...as would President Putin, PM Berlusconi, PM John Howard, PM Belka, and PM Koizumi. Of course, Kerry is getting endorsements from Kim Jong-il and Castro...and probably jockstrap chirac. Kerry talks about building coalitions...but it's scary to think about who he plans on building them with. Bush already has the leaders of Russia, Italy, Great Britain, Australia, Poland, Japan, and South Korea, as well as dozens of others, on his side. Who else would Kerry draw in? |

Fidel Castro, Yasser Arrafat, Osam Bin Laden, All of Hamas (they have already endorsed him), Kofi Annan (stop this oil for food scandal) and a whole gang of other terrorists |
