Blair – ‘just a nice guy’ or the devil’s lieutenant…?

Mr. Blair (my own name is Tony so I can't call him that) is a remarkable speaker, maybe the best I've ever heard. Clinton was like that - they say his political skills were so sharp that he could walk into any room and instantly become what the room needed him to be. That's a two-edged political sword because it permits you to lead, which you need to do regardless, but if you don't truly have the answers it makes you look bad. Mr. Blair didn't come up with the idea of pushing more money at the problem, he just led the country into it and from a big politician point of view that is usually the solution of choice.

At the end of the day, though, it's only the results that matter and we should throw away the politicians' convincing words.
