Blair was a Conservative through and through. That was what was galling -- why couldn't he just spit it out and say so? His Messianic complex probably got in the way, i.e., "right thing to do."
But if it's any satisfaction, there is a good chance that Gordon Brown just might do that just when Blair expects it least: <<to sabotage any attempt by Blair to get back into politics.>>
Geez, that's an idea. If there's an elite EU project that has something to do with promoting Europe IN the US, you know the sort that would maximize return for Europe, you must admit that Blair is qualified.
Why not appoint Blair special EU ambassador to US or something like that.
Don't forget Americans love our Blair that if given the chance to run for US president, he probably stands a fantastic chance of winning and beat Clinton, Obama or Edwards hands down.
He's already special US ambassador to the EU. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
