Tony Blair’s Poisoned Legacy
Regardless of the merits of his domestic reord, Tony Blair's decision to take Britain into the Iraq war has ensured that his legacy will be one of disillusion and distrust. Indeed, for many Britons, Blair may have discredited the very idea of a "special relationship" with the United States.
Tony Blair has a powerful claim to being one of the most successful British politicians of any recent generation, at least in domestic economic and social policy. But history will remember him mainly for his strategic error in going to war in Iraq.
