I've Been Thinking:

Historians and ideologues will argue about the subject for years.
Doctoral dissertations will be written.
It is certainly the end of an era.
Tony Blair is stepping down, leaving office, shrugging off the mantle of leadership.

Was the world a better place with Blair in a leadership role?
England, the United States and the West will reserve judgment for a long while.
Iran has already taken their stand, Iranian sentiments are clear.
Iran is anti-Blair.

Officially, Iran welcomed Blair's exit and expressed hope for better interaction with the new UK leadership - if they change policy.
Of course Iran would like nothing more than for the UK and the entire world to change policy and conform to Iran's own warped perspective of the world.
But that will not happen.
England may reduce troops in Iraq but England will not, under any leadership, look kindly on a nuclear Iran.

Dream on, Iran.
