Lucky to Have Tony Blair
I think Andrew Sullivan is right. We are all bloody lucky to have Tony Blair as Prime Minister. For those of you who are like me and wondered what it would have been like to live at the same time as Winston Churchill, to be lucky enough to share the same planet at the same moment in history as someone of such stature, then look no further than Prime Minister Tony Blair. The man gets it. He understand us at a time when most people don’t. He understand this moment in history and how important it is to the future of our world. He is a true visionary – but yet gifted with the ability to convey what he sees clearly to the rest of us too stuck in the past to understand.
Tony Blair isn’t just the U.K.’s Prime Minister – he is the leader of all of us who refuse to bow down before our enemies in the hope that they will leave us alone. He is the leader of our civilization as it struggles with an enemy that seeks its destruction for the glory of a debased vision of God. While George Bush was molded into a leader by history, Blair has molded history through his eloquent and elegant leadership.
All British citizens, all people who value freedom should be proud of this man’s contribution to our future.
