Overall pretty good Prime Minister. Our economy has been one of the most stable and successful in the world, and has performed better than at any time during our history. He has done great things for this country like the minimum wage, establishing peace in Northern Ireland and taken us forward into the heart of the EU.
However, he will not be judged on any of the good things he's done for this country, instead, his legacy will be judged on his decision to take part in America's war in Iraq... |

...and allowing a lot of outsourcing of Britain's service based companies which wasn't exactly wonderful.
Mixed bag of good and bad really, but ya get that :) |

Your absoulutly right. And that is highly unfortunate. And our President will probably go down as starting World War 3. Its a shame to have these kinds of problems at this day and age. I think that they all need to grow up and play nice in the sand box. But that will never happen as long as we have Religion and Oil in the same melting pot. Its a shame what happened to Tony Blair. I do beleive he was used as a pawn. He seems like a nice man.:( |

Tony Blair was never a pawn. I think he has been a great PM whose legacy will be marred by an unpopular decision that he made, knowingly and willing, to take part in the war in Iraq. |

| Blair... one of americas greatest friend. I give it to blair, he dosent out like the Spanish, after they go attacked they withdrew their forces :rolleyes: Blair was there when Britain got attacked and let the enemy know that Britain wasnt going to backdown and that they were going to take the good fight till the end. Blair might be disliked towards his decision to integrate with the US in Operation Iraq. But our british friends cant forget that they VERY vulnerable to another attack by these thugs. Blair IMO will go down as an efficient PM that tried to do what was best for his country and for the world. |

Nobody would remember that he was a prime minister. |

If you think the War in Iraq had anything to do with the "War on Terror" then you really are as stupid as you have come across on this forum... |

Right, because there is no terrorism in Iraq ;)
I'd say, perhaps, Iraq has the least amount of terrorism in all the world? Hmm? |
