Oh, thank you for all the pictures. I was so looking forward to this trip but all I am getting is MICHAEL JACKSON junk on the television!

The press conference will be repeated on C-SPAN2 at 8 PM Eastern, and at 10 PM Eastern on C-SPAN. It is well worth watching. I swear I could have kissed Tony Blair for his absolutely stalwart and eloquent defence of the President and the war in Iraq.

I'm thinking of two young boys growing up, one in England and the other in the United States. I picture each of them as a scamp, a boy who took dares, a boy who was a leader.

Neither one of them was aware that someday he would meet the other. But each grew into a man with the leadership qualities desperately needed to protect a threatened world.

Then I look at Tony Blair and George Bush, the leaders of the free world, and I bow my head and say, "Thank you God." And may the playing fields of Eton and the Yankee love of freedom rule forever.

Blair is magnificent. He is Bush's Churchill! Both nations are so blessed.
