	Tony Blair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blair is credited, along with Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson, with moving the Labour Party towards the centre of British politics, using the term "New Labour" to distinguish his policies of support for the market economy from the party's older policy of nationalisation.
		Blair made a case for war against Saddam based on Iraqi possession of weapons of mass destruction and breach of UN resolutions, but was wary of making a direct appeal for regime change as international law does not recognize that as a legal ground for invasion.
		Blair made a statement about the day's London bombings, saying that he believed it was "reasonably clear" that it was an act of terror, and that he hoped that the people of Britain could demonstrate that their will to overcome the events is greater than the terrorists' wish to cause destruction.

		Blair's support for the Nato policy on Kosovo was a mad act of Bonapartist adventurism, bound to end in failure, ignominy, thousands of civilian deaths and Milosevic in power for ever.
		Blair's problem, however, isn't with them, but with the large part of the population who don't love or hate him, but who do want to know why we went to war, and want the reasons for it to have been satisfactorily explained in advance, rather than dredged up afterwards.
		Blair's sense of being good fits the Labour self-image as the party of virtue: the party we would all vote for if we were less selfish and greedy.

	ZNet Commentary: Blair's Bombs
		Had Blair heeded it instead of conspiring to deceive the nation that Iraq offered a threat, the Londoners who died on Thursday might be alive today, along with tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
		Blair's epic irresponsibility has brought the daily horrors of Iraq home to Britain and he is not (to paraphrase one of the few challenging questions put to him before the invasion (by John Humphries) fit to be prime minister.
		When will someone in the political class say that Blair's smoke-and-mirrors "debt cancellation" at best amounts to less than the money the government spent in a week brutalising Iraq, where British and American violence is the cause of the doubling of child poverty and malnutrition since Saddam Hussein was overthrown (Unicef).

		Blair's figleaf of a "coalition" is very important to Bush and only the moral power of the British people can bring the troops home without them firing a shot.

		John Rentoul takes us through Blair's chilhood, his arrival in the Labour Party and his determination as he climbed the ranks to move the party into the centre ground.
		Blair is a very interesting politician and certainly very complex, I feel he's deeper than his shallow image suggests.

		They are "Blair's bombs," and he ought not be allowed to evade culpability with yet another unctuous speech about "our way of life," which his own rapacious violence in other countries has despoiled.
		Indeed, the only reliable warning from British intelligence in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq was that which predicted a sharp increase in terrorism "with Britain and Britons a target." A House of Commons committee has since verified this warning.
		John Pilger was born and educated in Sydney, Australia.

		This book is about how Tony Blair transformed from a man who came to power with litte thoughts on foreign policy but one who came to articulate his ambitions and goals in foreign policy with stark clarity.
		The book falls apart when Kampfer (who seems to be obsessed with Robin Cook, to the point of writing a biography about him) tries to paint Blair as the arch villain of the 2003 Iraq War and Cook as a heroic martyr.
		Nevertheless anyone who is sceptical about Blair's foreign policy should read this book and even those who aren't would be interested in studying the dynamics of conflict.
