I think Tony Blair would be a terrible choice. The debate before the Iraq war was the first time there was something like a European public. The media in one country were closely following the opinions in political debate in other European countries, the anti-war protests got momentum across borders, and so on. It would be horrible symbol to make someone EU president who was so blatantly on the wrong side on this part of recent history.
I agree with your opinion of Blair, but your reasoning is flawed, The Iraq war is something we should be behind, the boys out there do not need to feel it is all for nothing
Perhaps if we re-phrased that to "The Iraq war is something that should be behind us...." as in the past so that the troops could be home, defending their country from foreign (terrorist) attacks as opposed to terrorizing foreigners on foreign soil....this picture is SO wrong that it boggles the mind.
The Grand Design, reflected in the face of Chaos...it's a fluke!
