Tony Blair

[HisSelf]

We've seen Tony Blair try to find his voice after being rejected by the British electorate. Since then, he has tried to mount the podium to speak on important world issues...

My personal take on Blair is that he is good at identifying critical world issues, but has lost creds when it comes to picking winners... Blair is the guy who rings the bell, but he is not the guy who says when the bell should be rung... He has diminished, rather than enhanced the position of Great Britain in foreign affairs...

So who will step into the breach?

Certainly not Brown.

Does he matter?

Hmm ......

Now that he is a simple citizen - I would say - nope.

He is out of the picture and on to a new life.

Suspect he misses the old days.

If he did, this thread would be a lot longer. Tony Blair is going to fade to black when Bush leaves office.

Last time he was into solving Middle East conflict. Guess that affair successfully finished, all's ready to tackle global humankind issues such as global warming. Smaller people will do with triffles like sorting out the Iraq mess he and his best buddy are leaving behind.
