Interesting....could Blair have reversed the Thatcher revolution.....should he have tried?

Coming from the right wing of the labour party - he was never going to try, but would it have been a good idea?

I think by then it was a sort of Macbeth situation....'we are so far steep'd in blood etc......'

Certainly Blair was determined he wasn't going to step into the World of Shit that Wilson walked into when he showed only qualified support for Vietnam. Thus all the gung ho stuff. Plus he's seen Thatch get some easy plaudits for the Falklands - easy for her - not the soldiers and sailors who fought and perished.
