Part of me thinks only when we sit down and talk to our opposites (however disdainful we may find that) will find a true understanding, so it's a good thing, but part knows Blair won't meet the Dalai Lama (whose country is oppressed by a undemocratic government that flouts human rights and possesses WMDs), and so this is a big dose of hypocrisy and he's grandstanding for the media.

Is this the way forward or is it a mistake?
