This is Tony Blair's hour. He is uniquely positioned to lead this charge. Politics being what they are, Blair can do what Bush cannot. Bush is the hip-shooting cowboy; Blair is the cool intellectual. Those are the roles they have been cast. Coming at the problem from two different directions, they have reached the same conclusion: Saddam must go.

Blair's strength and bravery have been quite a surprise to some of us here. For years our only portrait of Blair was painted by the media brush. The Bristish Bill Clinton they called him. That was an ugly portrayal.

World events have placed Mr. Blair at center stage, and we see that he is, in fact, a principled leader. We know, Bill Clinton--he was a President of ours. Tony Blair is no Bill Clinton. Men should be judged by their actions, not their words.

By his actions as well as his eloquent words, Mr. Blair has shown the world that he is a principled, brave, leader. The Brits can be proud of him. I'm sure Churchill would be.
