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.

I just want to say that I think that the average educated Brit has a much better command of the "Queens Engligh" than the average educated American. I admire those who can use the language as a weapon - either to slice and dice, or just to bludgeon someone with. Keep up the good work.
