I was reading in the paper that a majority of Americans feel that Tony Blair is a more inspirational leader than George W Bush.

I was quite amazed at this, but it kind of makes sense.

I was quite conflicted about the whole Iraq thing, and part of that stemmed from the fact that Tony Blair seemed so passionate about ridding the world of Saddam. An american president shaking his fist is one thing, but a British Prime Minister is something to make you think.

I noticed that if you listened to the rhetoric, Bush always hammered on about Weapons of Mass Destruction, and terrorists, and security, whereas Blair seemed to take the moral high road, and claim that the world had a responsibility to get rid of a mad man. A moral dilema. But the problem with that is is that the world is full of nut bars.

Anyway, i heard that there was a movement in the usa to nominate Tony Blair for president. (I know it's impossible, so don't tell me that.)

Too bad you couldn't do that though.

Wouldn't it be something if you could.
