Look in the Mirror, W.

Maybe Tony Blair has been humbled by his party's poor showing in the recent elections in Britain, but for whatever reason, he seems to be trying to shimmy to the left a bit. In Washington recently, he was trumpeting for a massive increase in debt relief for Africa, while Bush - claiming that the U.S. has already done more for that continent in crisis than any other country, and that we don't want to give handouts to totalitarian regimes - actually had the nerve to say, "No developed nation is going to want to support a government that doesn't take an interest in their people, that doesn't focus on education and health care."

Then I guess it's no wonder that support for the U.S. is at an all-time low.

I just wish that W. could appreciate the irony in his position, given the way he treats people in his own country.
