If Tony Blair thinks he can get the six main world's religions together for a hugga muggar group hug and solve the worlds problems he is in for a shock. East meets West and all is cool. He's got more chance of having bigger man boobs than solving the worlds problems.
So what does he want? All the God botherers to get together and murder the Aethiests instead of each other?
A little religiously inspired conflict doesn't seam so bad against the prospect of having
Tony come round for tea, biscuits and asking why we "can't all just get along".

He was more or less forced out of office. People were tired of him, not only in Britain, but especially in Britain. His credibility as mediator and special envoy to the ME was in ruins from the beginning on, due to the Iraq war. He was not told to come back into office. He was not elected for again. people did not want him any longer - people make jokes about him instead. He was sent off the field. The world works as always, even without him, and still the sky is not falling, nor are his shoulders needed to carry the firmament. He has been given the red card. He has not been invited back. The world is happy with him being gone. the world has almost forgotten that he even was there
I wonder what exactly it is that he does not understand in that. When politicians are not re-elected, they are not re-relected. That does not mean to sneak back onto the stage through some hidden backdoor.
Damn, so many politicans do not understand it these days anymore. New posts and offices get created, just for tzhem not needing to go - and stay away. Once they made a decision to become professional politicians and make their living by it, you can't get rid of them anymore, no matter election results. Like zombies, they always come back in a mutated form. Professional politicians should be globally forbidden, the number of years, or terms, they can do it in total, should be limited, like it is the case with some political posts (presidency f.e.) already.
His intention, btw, is simply naive.
He was not told to come back into office. He was not elected for again. people did not want him any longer
...well, you know he wasn't elected out off office. There was no election that he lost.
He just retired and passed on the leadership.
However hard it is to beleive, he was still very popular wen he left, althow not to the extent he used to be.
...I dunno who he was popular with, but the polls say he was!

He passed not before immense party pressure was put on him, and the pulbic really did not support any perspective that they disagree with that. and he did not pass before he stubbornly had insisted to stay for more months to come. As I said: "more or less pressure" put on him to finally quit. In the end it was more "more" than "less".
If the party did itself a favour to acceopt Gordon Brown as heir, is something different. Whenever I think it couldn't become worse, life seems to prove me to be a too naive optimist.:lol:
