Tony Blair: Big Overhaul in the Face of Clear Signs of No Confidence in His Leadership

You've probably heard that Brit PM Tony Blair really rearranged the deck chairs on his version of the Titanic today after his Labour Party had its worst showing in years. But is it enough?

There has been much speculation Blair will be out by the end of the year, despite Blair doing things like cancelling a photo op with King George the Dubya and his purported refusal to stand behind Bush in his saber-rattling at Iran. Consider too that others who stood with Bush, like Aznar of Spain and Berlusconi of Italy are now political history.

Brits are NOT happy with Blair and I believe it's with very good reason. On this score, the Brits showed far more rational discernment than their cousins in "the colonies".
