#1 ridicules anti-Americanism as the "patriotism of fools."

That's the best characterisation of the institutional Canadian anti-americanism I have ever heard and I lived in Canada for 12 years.

#2 If Blair takes a big-bucks job over here, he will join a long line of world leaders whose support for American values has landed them in U.S. universities or think tanks. It must be nice to have friendly foreigners on hand to lionize U.S. virtues, but this pro-American brain drain is a luxury the United States can't afford as it wages a battle of ideas worldwide.

Fine. Set up an American Relations Bureau in Britain and deputize Blair to direct it at mid to high six figures per annum.

#3 If the Donks weren't a party of egos and power mongers and self-worshippers and fifth columnist, they'd outsource Howard Dean's job to Tony. Unlike any in that crowd, Tony is held in pretty high esteem by most of America. He can do the job other [Donk] Americans cant. And he speaks proper English.

#5 I think many of us do, BP.

But we're over here, not over there.

And for all his socialist faults, Tony Blair at least seems to understand the danger the West faces from the islamonazis. Especially in Great Britain itself.

So we admire him (and he does have a wonderful accent). Your mileage may vary.
