Because of that ------ the UK is hated by everyone except the US, and Us is also run by another idiot.
He was a great prime minister and did a wonderful job and the reason for his downfall was that he sided with Bush in the War on Terror in Iraq. After that his popularity began to downfall. He did the right thing stepping down, but I do not believe that he should have apologized for what he believed in at the time.
sorry for this expression, but in my opinion he just followed bush anywhere he went. Bush war, blair war Bush jumps of a bridge, Blair jumps of... etc etc Glad he quits, and I hope there will be a more intelligent and more independant prime minister
