Blair was superb in PMQs. I'll never deny that. He was also a great PM until he got his call from "god" to join the US war on terror. Being neutral on politics (I don't support a party like a football team, US or UK analogy), if we could have a Blair focused on the UK it would be a huge improvement. As for Tony Blair himself, I'd personally have him in The Hague for war crimes. Terrible man on the international stage, and that often seems to happen with leaders that are elected with a huge mandate.
