Ivan, I heard a "commercial" on the Savage show last night featuring Blair speaking about 9/11. I must admit, his delivery and words were done bvery well. In fact, he blew W. away in speech-making, I thought.

Blair asked us to think of the people falling to their death and of the children on the planes who were told they were to die.

He closed by saying that such cruelty is not comprehensible to the average person. And that we cannot reason with it, cannot negotiate with it, and that since it means to destroy us, we must destroy it.

By the end of the speech my blood was boiling.

My respect for Blair in this light has grown significantly since 9/11.

Blair asked us to think of the people falling to their death and of the children on the planes who were told they were to die.

He said that to the Labour Party Conference. They immediately shut up about the war after it - there was no way they were going to oppose him after the speech.

Blair sometimes has moments of brilliance, and this is one of them. I'll never vote Labour, but he has my respect for doing the right thing in this case.

Regards, Ivan

That's just the Anglophile in us all.
