I see day after day the growing pressure on Tony Blair over Iraq, due mainly to the fact that the country is divided into
1) Without the UN we can't back the US
2) Back the US with or without the UN (had to edit because I got the  I'm a fool I know)
3) NO WAR!!!
I fall into the 2 category and believe it is our duty to follow our ally into a war to liberate a nation from an evil madman. Unfortunately the 1 & 3 categories have a large following as well. I only hope Blair doesn't crumble under the pressure and maintains his direction.
*edit* don't catagorize in a, b, c or you'll look foolish

i have a tremendous amount of respect for Tony Blair.
he laid it all out on the line for something he believed in. he did it and continues to do it knowing that it most likely means the end of his political career. he has had some tough choices to make and he has stuck to his guns even as pressure continued to build and it became increasingly clear that he is far in the minority not only with Britain but with France and Germany and other EU countries and even within his own political party.
