>>But this Blair stuff is pretty silly really
No it isn't, AC, and I am disappointed in you. Ask the Iraqis who told the BBC reporter recently that life was actually worse now than under Saddam Hussein if it is "pretty silly".
>> Any national leader risks becoming a war criminal. If you weren't up for that you wouldn't climb the greasy pole.
There is a big difference between Blair and other Prime Ministers of the last 100 years. Asquith, Lloyd George, Chamberlain, Churchill, Atlee and Thatcher were leaders of the UK during times of wars which they did not start, whereas Blair was an active warmonger, and eager supporter of the right-winger George W. Bush. Nelson Mandela described Blair as "the U.S. foreign minister".
From wikipedia: "In his first six years in office Blair ordered British troops into battle five times, more than any other prime minister in British history."
Yes, Di Canio is/was a fascist - but he is a choirboy compared to Blair.
