I agree, even Bush and Blair, two of the West's strongest leaders are now a weak points in their administrations. However, Iran may have gone too far.
Clearly, strong action is required. That refinery is a weak point. How about sabotaging the refinery at a key point like its computer center, where it would be disabled for a while, but not destroyed. They might get the message. If that doesn't work, embargo their oil.

IMHO, Tony Blair is a mere girlie-man compared to Australia's marvelous John Howard.

While Blair's apparent devotion to the WOT is doubtless admirable, Hillary Clinton herself would be justifiably proud of the nanny state, social fascist devastation Tony & his vile wife Cheri have inflicted on the British home-front.

Plus, while acting reasonably tough abroad, Blair's weak-kneed, politically correct pandering to domestic Muslims - particulary hard-core extremists - has been virtually non-stop.

It's always amazed me how Blair gets cut so much slack among conservatives - especially Stateside - when this his actual overall track record.
Lady Thatcher (God bless her!) would have by now shown these Iranian Islamofascist vermin a whole 'nother level of British resolve & toughness - light years beyond what we'll sadly see from Blair.
