I wish we'd had Blair in 1938 instead of your namesake who came
back from Germany waving his little piece of paper and proclaiming:
============================================
"My good friends this is the second time in
our history that there has come back from
Germany to Downing Street peace with honor.
I believe it is peace in our time."
============================================
I venture to suggest that if you'd suffered the London Blitz
(as I did) then you might think that a pre-emptive strike against
that evil bastard, Saddam Hussein, was a jolly good idea.
