Let's hope the armoured cars do their job well. I still have concerns over Blair's new task - as mentioned at my blog - keeptonyblairforpm. He should have as many millions spent on HIS protection as his predecessor did - after all who in the world knows James Wolfensohn or what he looks like? But Tony Blair? He probably isn't too concerned about security. His mind is focussed on securing world peace. But I want him back in one piece so that he can take up the reigns of power again at a later date when we finally understand what he was trying to tell us and what he was trying to do. And when we finally realise there is no better prime minister for this country than Tony Blair. I don't know whether he can bring Israelis and Palestinians together but I know he is driven to try. I never thought I'd react in this way to the demise of "just another politician". But Blair is NOT just another politician. His skills are renowned & recognised worldwide, and sorely needed. Good luck, Mr Blair.

Tony Blair will go down in history as one of the great prime ministers. Anyone who disputes the fact that he has taken the tough decisions instead of the easy soft options is delusional. If you dont yet realise that threat posed by international terrorism has changed fundementally,in its modus operandi (airliners into buildings,bombs on trains etc, not to mention WMD ) and that terror has moved from acts of violence by groups,( with a few casualties) to an all out attack on our values( with the potential of thousands of fatalities) by multi_ national groups , and that these fanatics have become the weapon or delivery vehcle of nation states i e IRAN and in the time of Saddam IRAQ, simply because its easy to deny a suicide bomber. The cost to Britain and America in soldiers killed can not be the deciding factor if the decision to go to war was correct. The big difference between the two waring factions is our unwillingness to sustain losses in fighting for our beliefs.

Misleading about the Gaza greenhouses in just about every way. Wolfensohn gave $500,000. Bill Gates gave millions so that the greenhouses would not be shipped to Israel. Palestinians, including police, looted the greenhouses of hoses, pumps, computers and plastic sheeting on 13 Sept., 2005. The greenhouses were then refurbished and used, but Palestinian terrorist attacks on the Karni crossing and tunnels dug beneath it caused its closure at the critical harvest time. What can Tony Blair do for the Palestinians? For surviving members of Yasser Arafat's regime, strengthening institutions on the ground is a harder idea to grasp than the prospect of another visit to a Swiss bank.
