Tony Blair on Iran
Only expected to be in office until some time this summer, but you at least have to give Tony Blair credit for consistency.

Like most, not everything they did was correct. But the outcomes usually were.

With the exception that Reagan’s cowboy attitude was never referred to that way. “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall” sounds much different than ‘The United States prefers that Iraq meet its obligations voluntarily, yet we are prepared for the alternative.’
