Can Tony Blair survive the fall of Bush
Seldom in the history of the world do we see the strange sight of two "democratically"elected leaders whose fate is bound together in a deadly embrace.Tony Blair came to power in England offering a way out of Thatcherism and improving public health, education and welfare. In the 7years he has been in power he has shown little inclination of fulfilling these and other promises. He rushed to support Bush in war even though no vital national interest was involved. Anglo-Saxon solidarity was invoked against the Islamic World and now both Bush and Blair are getting deeper and deeper in the Iraqi quagmire. Now war has become an end initself and the war aims have been forgotten because Bush and Blair rushed in without preparation and without a plan for the aftermath. With the impending defeat of George II looming large on the horizon can Tony Blair avoid the inevitable aftermath.
The recent convention of the Labour Party in a formulaic way endorsed the stand of the piolitical leadership in the Commons over the organizational and grass roots agencies. In the election next year Labour may not do too well. However, even the Tories [cannot claim the high ground because forgetting their own history they endorsed a war in which their political and national interests were not involved. It is well to remember that the Tories have not waged an aggressive war in English history. This is the first time they made a mistake and a costly own at that.
