Yea, i hope you guys drill Blair, but also anyone who wants to replace him. I see Blair as a lapdog to America (unfortunately), but as one who (imo) does not want to be. He gives in so easily though, from what i can see, like he's Bush's bitch, yet he seems to resent it.

As an American who doesn't agree with Bush on MANY issues (pretty much anything except his "'Moon, Mars and Beyond' plan .. and even then i don't like it all, like cutting out stuff like Hubble, and lack of maned missions to the moon and/or mars) I would love to see someone in the UK that wouldn't bow to the wishes of the US so easily. I sort of see the UK as the "check and balance" for the US in the international arena. We're such close allies that i see the UK as our brother country, a VERY close second only to Canada (If Canada weren't so close geographically and economically it would be a tie or even the UK in the lead with Canada as a close 3rd.) I would prefer to see the UK as more hesitant, or even defiant on certain issues.. sort of the way Canada is now.

This deviates well off the path of the original post but I thought I would just throw it out there. If anyone from this board in the Uk gets the chance to ask a question in a debate over there (yea, i know.. probably not a good chance of that happening) I hope you ask the candidates questions that are imporatant and actually make them think about the good of us all. After all, that is their job, yes? They serve us, not the other way around. That is too often forgotten in the US.
