[lbo-talk] If you can't vote Labour, who can you vote for?

[Chris Doss]

I'm inclined to think that Blair supported America for
honourable reasons. Partly out of sympathy, partly
because of a pragmatic understanding that you've
actually got to remain on terms with the most powerful
country in the world, no matter how repulsive its
government is - and it is a repulsive government - and
partly because he hoped to be a bridge between America
and Europe. That didn't work out but I suspect that
was his hope."

Let me ask you a question: Why do you think Blair did support Bush? I've tried to think of rational reasons, and have thus far drawn a blank -- except maybe to exert some influence on US policy?
