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.

All good points. Blair has supported Bush. I realize that Blair has spent much to shore up the nanny state in the UK, however, I don't think he has reversed the Thatcher changes. Lady Thatcher is one of my heroes. She and Reagan were a good pair. Leaders like that don't come around enough. Or should I say that they don't get elected when they come around enough.
I think Rudy Guiliani may be one of those kinds of leaders. We'll see.
