As usual this American writer only likes Blair because of his support for the war.
Nothing else matters does it.
Mark Steyn is a Canadian who writes a weekly column for The Telegraph [UK] and a bi-weekly column for The Spectator.
Blair is single-handedly keeping the UK in the War on Terror.
If it was up to the Tories and the Labour back bench, the Brits would cut and run like yellow dogs.
Because of this, Blair deserves the gratitude and support of all clear-thinking red-state Americans.
As for the rest, The Princess Diana grief-fest, the irrational vendetta against fox hunting and decline of the Church of England into irrelevance tells us Americans pretty m uch everything we need to know about the state of British society.
