In the world today, there are only two leaders that have the moral clarity and wisdom to recognize the threat we all face in the war against Islamic extremists. Thank God for George Bush and Tony Blair and their unwavering commitment to this cause.
Yesterday, on the final day of his last Middle East tour, in a speech to world leaders, Tony Blair urged the world to take bold action against “extremism” in Iran.
“We must recognize the strategic challenge the government of Iran poses; not its people, possibly not all of its ruling elements, but those presently in charge of its policy,” he said.
Iran wants “to pin us back in Lebanon, in Iraq and in Palestine,” he added.
“Our response should be to expose what they are doing, build the alliances to prevent it and pin them back across the whole of the region,” Blair said.
To do this “we need the open and clear backing of the countries in this region.”
It’s too bad he is leaving next year.
