"President Bush's announcement comes only days before Mr Blair attends his first
meeting of the Quartet. The former prime minister has been pushing Mr Bush for
the past five years to take an active role in trying to end the
Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. In his White House speech yesterday, Mr Bush
gave his blessing to Mr Blair's new career as an unpaid Middle East envoy."
While Blair is tainted by his involvement with Bush and the war in Iraq, I think that more than any other political leaders on the international scene right now, he has the skills and the ability to create a movement for peace in the region. I hope that he is given the support and the power that he needs to break through the road blocks that have prevented change.
