Today's Tony Blair Quotes:

"Al-Qaeda is not on the same par as the IRA.... It was invidious to make comparisons"
"IRA political demands could not be directly compared to fundamentalists who carried out the 9/11 US attacks."
"I don't think the IRA would ever have set about trying to kill 3,000 people,"
"I don't think you can compare the political demands of republicanism with the political demands of this terrorist ideology we're facing now."
