ts-

i just watched an interview on CBC in which
the chap being interviewed answered questions
as to how blair has found himself in this
muddle.

he compared it to a greek tragedy - where you
can see that the next ten steps will lead to
disaster, but there is absolutely nothing blair
can do to avoid taking those steps.

he suggested that in the beginning, after the
global pouring of support for the u.s. following
9-11, blair noticed that the new administration was
tearing up treaties and backing out of agreements
and feared that the world's only superpower was in
danger of becoming a "rogue power" and sought to
influence it somehow. i suspect there is some
political ego at play here.

then, of course, things went sour.

it was a very interesting interview and i've
probably totally screwed up the reporting of it,
but you get the jist in any case.

here's an interesting site.
