Agree. The Brits deserve our thanks. I never thought I'd get to like Blair but I have a lot of respect for him now.

"I never thought I'd get to like Blair but I have a lot of respect for him now."

I used to think Blair was a smarmy clinton type, the more so as he is from the Labour Party.

I'm always happy to admit when I'm wrong, and boy, was I wrong. This man could have cared less about polls, put his career on the line for principle.
