The current popularity of Mr. Blair is pretty dismal in the UK but the real problem is the future of Anglo-American relations - such as Britain's willingness to participate in US led actions in the future. If they can't come up with real WMDs for which bioth leaders staked their reputations on, what will happen?:

Quote:
| British Prime Minister Tony Blair is in trouble. It's a crisis of credibility brought on by the war in Iraq. And while the fate of the leader of a medium-size European country thousands of miles away might seem unimportant in the United States, it could change the whole global balance of power. For years, Britain has been America's buddy, offering support in Persian Gulf War I, Kosovo, Afghanistan and now Iraq. The military aid has been useful without being essential; the real help was diplomatic. Britain's presence proved that the United States wasn't trying to run the planet on its own. |
