Man we're off-topic in here.
1. A few of you danced (or crossed) the line of "personal", but have retracted and gone back to fighting opinions, not each other. The next personal comment gets removed and a PM sent explaining why.
2. As for the comment about bush starting a war on fabricated evidence (shakran)... Been there, had 5000 threads on it, this isn't one of them. Don't respond to that part, just respond to the rest of his post and move on.
From me personally, not as a mod...
Blair had to go along with Bush, Blair doesn't dare sour the US/UK relationship by not playing along with Bush in his war games. When a post-9/11 Bush says if you're not with us, you're with the terrorists, you choose your opposition carefully- and once you say you're on board to avoid being labelled as uncaring, you have to stay the course or you're a deserter. You know that's how the headlines would read, and so does he. Don't make Blair out to be some selfless "do-right". He was protecting himself from being seen as indifferent to terrorism- and like I said, once you agree at the beginning, you can't pull out until Bush is done with you.
