Mr Blair goes to Washington

[cal04]

Tony Blair flies to Washington today to get his orders from George Bush on how they should continue to stand back and implicitly condone Israeli air attacks on civilians in Lebanon. I would really like to know how many British voters – or come to that how many Labour voters - our great humane leader represents in his support for Bush and his rather strange ideas on how to win "the Long War" on terror.

Blair loses no opportunity to flaunt his humanity when there are rock stars like Bono and Bob Geldof around but suddenly faced with large numbers of innocent Lebanese dying, his humanity seems to have deserted him.

So in the spirit of all those wonderful internet adverts that ask you to email Tony and tell him how wonderful you think he is for supporting the war on terror, what do you the TimesOnline readers really think about our great humane leader?

Do you for example think Britain was right to join the US in blocking calls for an immediate ceasefire, a decision that led Israeli Justice minister Haim Ramon to claim Israel had the “permission of the world” to continue its air attacks?
