...with the exception of free trade (of which they are staunch advocates), there is almost no argument among Democrats on the principles of the Clintons. In Europe the doctrine came to be called the Third Way and acted as a model for Britain's Tony Blair and Germany's Gerhard Schroder. When George W.
