There are people the world over who are not prepared to wait for history to pass judgement on Blair — they want to see him held to account now.

Acknowledging no connection with his wars, Blair advocates more war, against Syria and Iran, and portrays opposition to him and his policies in terms of a 'clash of civilisations'.

If Tony Blair's suggestion of no-fly zones in Syria become a reality, it would almost certainly presage a war throughout the Middle East and perhaps beyond.
