Never mind the UK, Blair is finished on the world stage
Nothing demonstrates this better than a statement yesterday from todays daily mail "Tony Blair is persona non grata in our countries, and his visit to Ramallah is a serious provocation to the popular Palestinian sentiments, because he comes here in order to wash his hands, that are dripping with Lebanese blood, with Palestinian water," said the statement published Thursday in the daily Palestinian al-Ayyam.
"We should not allow him (to come) and not give him the chance to appear as a peace maker. He is a man of violence and a war maker," the statement said
The Israelis have also asked why they should deal with balir when he may be gone tomorrow.
