Of the major European countries, France, Germany and Russia, wised up to the Blair-Bush war in Iraq before it started. Spain and Italy backed out when they realized they could be hurt for backing such an ill-conceived ploy. Now, even the Labor Party in England has wised up and told Tony Blair to take a walk. Canada would not even support Blair from the start.
Is there any hope for the Republican party to see a Bush liability as they did with Nixon? Or should this fraction called party loyalty drag the Republican Party and the whole country into a mess we will not recover from?
