Some have compared the partnership that George Bush and Tony Blair have developed in fighting the War On Terror to the one that existed between FDR and Winston Churchill during World War II. I don’t know if that analogy fits, but Blair certainly sounds like Churchill when he says stuff like this:
“We need to make it clear to Syria and Iran that there is a choice: Come into the international community and play by the same rules as the rest of us, or be confronted.
“Their support of terrorism, their deliberate export of instability, their desire to see wrecked the democratic prospects in Iraq is utterly unjustifiable, dangerous and wrong. If they keep raising the stakes, they will find that they have miscalculated.”
One can only hope that Western actions will be consistent with rhetoric like this.
