Tony Blair is by no means a conservative but he gets the "War on Terror". Blair's parting words yesterday were remarkable and courageous and I for one commend him for them.We took a decision that we thought was very difficult, Blair said. I thought then, and I think now, it was the right decision.
Sometimes it's a controversial relationship - at least over in my country, he said Thursday. I have taken the view that Britain should stand shoulder-to-shoulder with America after Sept. 11. I have never deviated from that view. I do not regret that view.
Too bad more politicians don't have a backbone like Tony Blair. Stand for what you believe in, no matter what the cost. Churchill would've been proud.
I agree. Great men are defined not only by being on the right side of history (although, that is a large part of the determination), but by the strength of their commitment.
ReplyDeleteTony Blair is a great man.
as the zen archer said:
ReplyDeleteone must not only aim well, but pull the bow with all one's strength.
You're right, Dee. Blair is definitely not a conservative but he doesn't understand the need for self-preservation. I can't understand why so many liberals don't get it. It's like they don't even have natural instincts! Very weird.
