Title: Re: So Tony Blair Quits... Post by: Krispy Kreme on June 28, 2007, 12:52:14 PM Blair resigned but will not disappear. He has been named special envoy to the Middle East. Kind of ironic isn't it, considering that his personal popularity plunged over support for the Iraq war and forced his eventual departure.

Blair seems to be, essentially, a foreign policy liberal, and to believe in notions like collective security action. I think he had true, ideologically driven reasons for taking Britain into Iraq, that had nothing to do with being subservient to the US or Bush. It may have been a bad choice...but he wasn't used they way so many seem to frame it. If anything, he was an equal counterpart, and certainly a far more eloquent one, in believing in and selling this war. |
