Tony Blair's Legacy


For many years American embassies around the world have needed special protection. The same has invariably been due of Israeli embassies. Police guards, concrete blocks and armed soldiers have been needed to protect these official establishments because of the threat of action being taken against them by terrorists.

Now, for the first time in my memory, the same is true of British embassies.

Blair, the war criminal, has made Britain one of the world's three most hated nations. He has made Britons targets virtually everywhere.

And this won't change for decades.

Britons who used to be proud of their nationality must now either ask for armed protection or hide their flags in their suitcases. Britons who used to be able to travel anywhere must now lower their voices and do their best to disguise their nationality.

Blair himself will be fine, of course. He and his family travel around with armed police protection. Britain's best known war criminal will doubtless ensure that the protection will continue when he leaves office. It will be part of his massive pension plan.

Thank you Tony Blair. Some legacy.
