Mike Daley notes that "no ally has deserved our thanks more than the Rt. Honorable Tony Blair." From his globe-trotting diplomacy to magisterial speeches to his iron commitment in the face of great pressure, he has been all that and more. I never thought I'd have a socialist for a hero, but I do.
Feel like sending him some thanks? Click here - you can.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Given Tony Blair's penchant for privatisation and -- this is agreed by both his admirers and critics -- neo-Thatcherism -- it's rather weird to see him called a "socialist." Respectfully, have you noticed the difference between old Labour and "New Labour" and why traditional Labourites despise Tony Blair? Is, say, trying to privatise the London Tube "socialism"?
If he's a socialist, he's rather a minimalist one. Ditto Gordon Brown.
Dear Sky.
I’m in full support of our men. And I back them all the way. I wish I am there with them, to protect them. Ever since I saw the mother of the us soldier on T.V. my hart and thought go to here from a mother to a mother I know I will be going spare. And wonting to go out there my self and do the job for them. These demonstrators (if they let there brain go into gear) should realise that all our boys are the for the freedom off there classmate, so they can go back to there country for a holiday in the summer, with out Saddam-in-sane. Breathing down there necks. Just like Hitler power gone to the head. I think Demonstrators are knot true to there own people, and to there own force, the other day at Peterborough railway station, there where some Small group of protesters where on boarding a W-A-G-N. Service to kings cross, Chanting away on human rights, and I replay in song, Bless them all, Bless them the entire long and the short and the tall. Bless all the sergeants and wo1 Bless all the soldier and there little sons cos we saying good by to them all and back to the pickets we crawl. You’ll get on promotion WITHOUT A JOB this side of the Ossian so cheer up my lass blesses them all. Like I have already said I support our boys unlike theses other people.
sorry i put sky
Dear Mr Blair:
I want to Thank You for your help in the war against Iraq. I am an American and I know we all suffered allot of losses of our soldiers over there, It was a terrible loss to everyone, But without your countrys help we couldn't have done the job we all had to do.
I have great respect for you and your country. I have little respect for France and Germany these days.
In summary Your speechs stay on my mind allot, And I THank You Again!
