Mr. Blair was with us on the first night. I know that he is a patriot for both Britain
and USA and I have a good feeling for him as a friend of America.

I a bit slow on the uptake. Blair didn't win me over until a few days after 9-11.
It was when he asked that rhetorical question of "do you doubt that if the terrorists
could have killed 70,000 instead of maybe 7,000 that they would have hesitated?".
(or words to that effect)

When I heard Blair was going to release this dossier and that he told
a bunch of the British trade-unionists that Britain was going to back the USA...
I don't know if I was more happy or more freaked out.

I can't help wondering if Blair just didn't play "good buddy" to Clinton because
he (Blair) knew he was such a popular President...and maybe is happy to have a
MAN in the office of The Presidency in these times.

Regarding Blair, Clinton and Bush: I read something the other day about this. Blair liked Clinton because they were both on the left and because they agreed about quite a few things. But he said he prefers Bush because he knows he can trust him when he says something. I guess they have grown quite close. They are also both Christians. I would guess that Blair has found a part of his soul that he lost when Clinton was in office. That, of course, is just speculation on my part.
