Anyone watching the domestic election scene will agree that politics makes for strange bedfellows. This is obviously a global phenomenon, not just a purely
sub continental affliction. Consider the vehemence with which a British Labour Prime Minister spoke against Iraq and the way he made such an uncharacteristic
display of admiration and support for a beleaguered President across the Atlantic. It came especially at a time when the White House inmate, lame duck
and all, has been caught momentarily napping by his opponents. It was as if a Conservative, not pro-Europe Labour leader was speaking. A Tory leadership,
sounding rhetorically more conservative than the Republican right, can, without inhibition amplify on the so called special relationship with Washington.
It is part of acceptable political theatre for a Margaret Thatcher to feel a natural affinity for a matinee idol like Mr. Ronald Reagan, just honoured
in his own country. Whether it was war mongering, Cold War intrigue or just plain socialism bashing, there was a matching contribution from the White
House and Whitehall. One could come to terms with such conservative extremism in thought and action. But what to tell of like metaphor coming from a Labour
Prime Minister, the first such species to occupy 10, Downing Street in a long time? Sending h is foreign minister to the Gulf ad sounding more hawkish
than even the Republican Congressman, Mr. Tony Blair hitched himself unequivocally and unabashedly to Mr. Bill Clinton. He can say he is nothing more
