The Great Liberal of Our Time

Much has been made in the blogosphere about how American liberals and the Democratic parties have no great leaders and no coherent message. Reading yet another such account, exerpted from the New Republic, I was reminded that there is, in fact, a great liberal leader does exist, and has been one of the most laudable and prolific leaders of this time, greater than either Bushes or Clinton. He has a clear vision for a nation that uses power for good, both at home and abroad, and his goals and methods are unmistakably liberal.

I'm speaking, of course, of Tony Blair, who has refused to step down this year because he has not yet met his reform goals, and doesn't trust a new leader, who would be thinking about the next election, to meet them. He's a leader that Britain will remember - and America should.
