Blair is an exceptional politician and the US would be lucky to have him.

His greatest strength, I believe, is that he works on so many issues at once and rarely takes his eye off the ball. GW seems only able to concentrate on one issue at a time and even then not very well. By contrast Blair ran around the world getting support for the war, sped the emergence of the Palestine road map, worked on the Irish peace talks, introduced contentious health care reform, is negotiating on whether to join the EU and has made sure that the economy remains steady. All this and more means that he never gets caught out or shows a weakness to the opposition. By contrast GW's impact on the home front seems to be either non-existent or simplistic, huge tax cuts, the size of which seems to go up and down like a yoyo. Not impressed.
