imho, Blair was a consistent ally to the US while he was in office, which surprised me at the time, since he seemed so cozy with the Clintons. I admire him, particularly in contrast to Gordon Brown.
Exactly - and speaking as a British conservative, I can say he did us proud when it comes to foreign affairs.
It might seem like a nothing gesture, but he in effect, sacrificed his political career, his reputation and argueabley his health for what he believed in.
I will forever be thankful that he stood with America.
