Tenchussatsu, I think most liberals wanted to focus on the war against terrorism, rather than taking a U-turn into Iraq for oil. I feel sorry for Blair, an honest guy that apologized for the wrong information on Iraq. He's so honest and he's able to admit a mistake. According to people living in UK, he took a beating when he had to justify the war to the UK version of Congress. They said it was completely different than the golden platter Bush was given by our Congress. Blair had to give specific reasons and the logic, and he was forced to answer some very tough questions asked by their version of Congress. You have to respect a Congress that asks the hard questions on both sides of the story, as theirs did. Do you understand their system is very different from ours? Blair must go to Parliament and personally explain his positions. And then he opens it up to questions. Quite different from our way of doing governance. Blair went to the hospital today for a heart fluttering problem. An honest person like him probably feels more stress over the entire situation. I feel for the guy. UK is lucky to have someone so honest as a leader. He also has the ability to acknowledge the error on the WMD information. He's still pro-Iraq war, and because he's honest it makes me believe maybe there was a reason to attack Iraq. But I never learned from our leaders what that reason was though and our leaders here weren't as honest so you don't know what is truthful and what isn't. Blair also suffers from asthma. Literally, he is killing himself taking the role he has taken on. I like Blair a lot because he's very clear, direct and honest. You really know where he stands on an issue and you can trust he's being honest. He's an honest guy trying to do his best. Yes, but he made a very wrong turn on Iraq. I think he thought he could control Bush and it turned out to be the other way around. Rather than there being a reason to be in Iraq, I think his hubris got him in the current mess. ted
