HisSelf Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borg Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 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. Borg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisSelf Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 If he did, this thread would be a lot longer. Tony Blair is going to fade to black when Bush leaves office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myata Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
