Jobs for the boys

So Blair has been made a peace envoy for the middle east. He is, of course, immensely qualified for the job: he has huge credibility with all the parties involved, he can lie in matters of life-and-death without letting on, and he is prepared to sacrifice hundred thousand innocent folk for a what he considers a just cause — I can see peace spreading through middle east like forest fire (’Need some more napalm on this section of the roadmap, please.’)! If only he buggered off to the oasis of peace of tranquillity that he and his pal George made out of Baghdad, but that would be too much to hope for.
