Tony Blair has done some very good things as well as some very bad things, that seem to cancel each other out. Which makes his legacy a decidedly mixed one.

Very mixed! The straw polls seems to be reflecting that.

My opinion on your closing question is NO especially “ the two guys in the middle” of the photo. It’s very hard to see how the US response to 911 including, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, plus the estimated 4.5million dead since has made the world a better or safer place. Rather they were significant steps in the decline of western civilisation

Good point, Malcolm! I see no valid defence for the harm they did. Imagine if their efforts had gone into building infrastructure, schools etc. Ironically, the "two guys in the middle" are the two still living!
