Although U.S. opinion hasn't been invited, I think it might be interesting for people to know what Americans think of Blair, and what others think of U.S. politicians.

From my viewpoint, I've had a very good impression of Blair. I guess I think more highly of him than I do of any British politician since Churchill (Margaret Thatcher is another matter...). I'd rate him up there with other non-U.S. leaders I've admired from afar - Trudeau, Meir, Brandt, Aquino, Mandela, Walesa, Gorbachev, Dubcek, Havel, Mary Robinson. I guess I really don't know all that much about any of these people, but they seem quite admirable.
