Funny, I was just telling my wife a couple of days ago that Tony Blair is all that Clinton thought he was (and wanted to be), but wasn't. I disagree with many of his policies (of those that I know), he is a leftist of the first order. But he sees the world in real terms, he knows what the phrase "to lead" means. Clinton was willing to risk nothing to get what he felt was right. Blair is willing to risk everything for what he feels is right.
