		British Prime Minister Tony Blair's experience at last week's Labor Party conference points up the differences and similarities that he and his American counterpart face in terms of political fire.
		Blair is being criticized not only for Britain's being in the war, but also as "Bush's poodle," a position that has placed his country in opposition to its European Union partners, most of which have stayed out of the Iraq snarl.
		The prime minister is also being criticized for having concentrated on the war rather than devoting his attention to Britain's domestic problems, in particular a failing national health-care system, a struggling higher education system and creaky, aging infrastructure that has led to train wrecks and the like.
