I agree that a Tory government would be preferable. Were IDS the Prime Minister or even Lady Thatcher, the UN would be thoroughly ignored.

Blair has moments of insight, flashes of brilliance. This is his best moment. Do not be disappointed if there are precious few others. Certainly do not be surprised.

I have yet to fathom out why he has chosen this path in the first place.

That he has, certainly deserves applause.

However, IMHO, with GREAT reservation.

Keep smiling,

Philip.
