I don't agree with all he has done (the war being just one of many issues), but he straddles the political world like an impregnable colossus.
Do you think Blair survives the war (politically)? From what i read a lot of british people are against the war and therefore against Blair, so do you think he will be reelected?

And for the British Empire:
I always get the feeling, that the UK still wants to be an Empire, a global player, and that is somehow the reason why they are kissing bushs ass.
