Proof of Carter's senility:LONDON-Former President Carter accused Prime Minister Tony Blair on Sunday of being "subservient" to the White House, saying he failed to constrain America on Iraq. "I have been surprised and extremely disappointed by Tony Blair's behavior," Carter said in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph newspaper. "I think that more than any other person in the world, the prime minister could have had a moderating influence on Washington — and he has not," added Carter, who opposed the war in Iraq. "I really thought that Tony Blair ... would be a constraint on President Bush's policy toward Iraq." Blair has been Bush's closest international ally on Iraq, and Britain has the second most troops there after America. Carter said in many countries he has visited, people equate U.S. and British policy. "It's a shameful and pitiful state of affairs, and I hold your British prime minister to be substantially responsible for being so compliant and subservient," Carter said. Blair committed Britain to the war even though public opinion was strongly against it. The Prime Minister was re-elected last year.
