"Mr Blair says President Hussein leads what he has termed one of the most barbarous and detestable regimes in modern political history."

Tony, Tony, Tony! What's with the modesty?!

"A new opinion poll shows Mr Blair's personal popularity has dropped to minus-20 points from plus-six points six-months ago."


"If this was a regime that had weapons of mass destruction but was otherwise a benign regime, ruling its country well, you would think a lot harder before taking military action," Mr Blair said.

"But it is the very nature of Saddam, how he operates, his history, how he treats his people, that means that in his hands, these weapons of mass destruction are even more dangerous."

Or to put another way ...

"If this was a regime that had weapons of mass hysteria but was otherwise a benign regime, ruling its country well, you would think a lot harder before taking public protest action, but it is the very nature of Blair, how he operates, his history, how he treats his people, that means that in his hands, these weapons of mass hysteria are even more dangerous."
