Blair-Clinton


Former President Bill Clinton can indeed be a charming man.

He was not a bad President, although he was at times captured by the Left Wing of his own party and poor personal behaviour apparently hand-cuffed him on some critical items of foreign policy (i.e. Wag the Dog.)

PM Blair has been, in my opinion, a sensational political man.

But he has apparently been over-taken by the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately
syndrome which regularly strikes elected leaders of free countries.

In the UK, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, very successful leaders in my opinion, --- Churchill sensationally so --- were unhorsed by voters who wanted to get on to the next act.

The next American President --- of either major party, or a Third Party --- could do much worse than to appoint Blair as SecState.

I do not believe the SecState has to be a US citizen.
