I believe both Blair's and Bush's styles of communication are necessary. Bush has done a magnificent job in his state of the union messages and his speech to congress after 9/11, and his speech to the UN. Blair is a very pleasant surprise.

That these peace marchers fail to understand what Blair said ("Ridding the world of Saddam would be an act of humanity," he told his Labor Party. "It is leaving him there that is in truth inhumane.") suggests that their motives are naive at best and at worst manipulated by forces with a more sinister intent.

THE PRICE OF PEACE

Peace without Justice is a low estate,--
A coward cringing to an iron Fate!
But Peace through Justice is the great ideal,--
We'll pay the price of war to make it real.

December 28, 1916.

Henry Van Dyke

Magnificent. If only President Bush were half so eloquent as Tony Blair.

I was up early Sat A.M. (work) and watched the whole speech live. Not only was it a great speech, but Blairs' delivery was particularly impressive. Nice to see a politician with principles and class.
