British Prime Minister Tony Blair recently announced his resignation. The London Independent's feature on Blair's legacy is worth a read.
I think years from now historians will have a difficult time trying to figure out how someone of Blair's intellect became the key European apologist for the looney "anti-terror" policies of the Bush administration.
When mainstream historians write about Churchill and FDR, they give us two small-d democrats standing against fascism. But Blair and Bush? Their conduct of the global "war on terror" has been conducted with an ineptitude and arrogance that almost makes one yearn for the days of Thatcher and Reagan.
