[Mb-civic] Go easy on Blair

[Jack Sullivan]

Chesseburger:

Sorry you missed the forest for the tress!

Tony Blair is simply the most effective and modern and reliable elected
politician in the world today.

His vision is democratic; his politics savvy; and his feelings are deeply
rooted in the commonweal.

How he came to wear the crown of British leadership for so many years; and
keeping an independent Scots man in charge of the economy and purse-strings
excites politicos.

He moved Labour away from its traditional base with unions into the
multiplex political centre where turbulence is constant - yet he
successfully leads a now-minority Anglo Saxon tradition within a polyglot UK
nation of 100 nationalities and 300 languages. He took a hit in popularity
over the USA decisions involving Iraq where is role politically strategic in
a  long standing international alliance.

If you have the chance to view the surprisingly successful London
presentation to the OIC, that was only yesterday a 4-1 loser versus Paris,
and only last year a no-hope
chancer, you will gain some insight into the character of a modern spirit
liberator.

The UK "legacy" idea presented, visually and with understated effect,
worked like the silk strands of a fine cloth, woven to clothe a fine idea -
for aesthetic impact.

London would offer the OIC the opportunity to fashion and craft a legacy for
the young people of the world, through sport, that will endure into the
future. This statement was backed by the children on the committee - missing
were the business men. The presentation went on in language and symbol that
suits the short attention span of this modern world. The primary beneficiary
would be the world mission of the OIC itself.

Chirac was talking about cuisine!

Leadership like this recalls the savvy Roosevelt in the Great Depression -
who some say welcomed the Japanese invasion for the decision that was
already taken and planned. A decision only overshadowed by the decision of
Truman to end it, not with a whimper - but a bang.

I sometimes enjoy your flippant commentary, but chesseburger, strengthen
yourself on 'som rosbif'.
