      "Latin America a great success."??? What Latin America is he referring to?. All I see of Latin America is tremendous natural resources, hard working people, and corrupt as shit and incompetent governments; squeezing and forcing their peoples into North America, ILLEGALLY!. Very unstabilizing, and quite frankly, could kill the goose that lays their golden eggs. Which would be no surprise there. I guess it's a Spaniard tradition.

      The neurosis of politics is that politicians HAVE to use sweet-lies to persuade the fickle element of human nature. The electorate has a strong-arm of righteous hypocrisy, that if 'reasoned' with, will be the demise of the fledgling politician. This bloke understands that.

      Blair is simply a welfare capitalist, or democratic socialist, rather than a radical socialist, not different from most American politicians. The problem is that the welfare is paid by inflation, and necessarily so because the process skews the distribution of wealth and income. The current govt there is primarily Liberal or what we would call Libertarian. In that sense they are something new, but only because we haven't seen anything like it for 100 years. Obama, however, was talking about restoring the middle-class again on the stump yesterday, and this new emphasis may be the result of info gleaned from returns of the party's recent questionnaire. I was thinking after I finished yesterday's spiel, that Blair's book is an example of the resurgence of anti-Islam feeling, will probably be taken that way, and with it his UN career may reach a conclusion. I'll demur on Sarkozy, but I think the bit here about China is utter nonsense.
