I'm not actually a Blair lover, although after living under the conservatives for 18 years, he was a breathe of fresh air back in the late 90's, but i have to say he's probably the right man for the job. He's the perfect diplomat and is a good communicator. Already has hands on experience in the Middle East peace process and helped broker an Historic peace deal in Northern Ireland and let's face it up until Iraq was one of the most popular prime ministers this country has ever had, confirmed by back to back landslide election victories Some of you will choke on my next statement but i also think he is a man of high integrity and truly believes that his support for the Bush administrations 'war on terror' is Right and for our best interests. I'm not banging the drum for Blair here but having lived through the 'Maggie' era i think he is demonised a bit. Now she was a proper B"*TARD and gave me my socialist, (small s), angle on life.So for me yeah ! why not Blair for Middle East peace envoy, it'ill keep him out of the country lol ...don't all shout at once.
