As for Blair being the point man for global warming and poverty in Africa, consider that his unpopularity is growing at home (largely due to his alignment with Bushie). So having helped to cause great chaos and death in the world, he now tosses a few crumbs towards the humanitarians, and we eagerly lap them up? This is a pattern we've seen all too often these days. The powerful take 90% for themselves, pausing to loft a few pennies our way and everyone congratulates them for it. Leaves me speechless.
