Blair named Statesman of the Decade

London, December 8: British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been awarded the title 'Statesman of the Decade' by an international organisation.

Blair was honoured yesterday at a glittering dinner at the Guildhall in London by the EastWest Institute, a European-American institution that seeks to promote global peace and security.

A spokesman for the institute said the award, last given to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in the 1990s, was in recognition of Blair's leadership and vision in addressing crises and challenges in the Balkans, Iraq, Africa and elsewhere.

The brochure drawn up for the occasion pointed to his achievement in completing negotiations for the 1998 peace agreement in Northern Ireland and shuttle diplomacy he carried out to help form and maintain a coalition after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

18. No different than nominating Tookie for a Nobel
It all depends on your politics, which in turn determines how you define honorable and execrable.

Rather like religion, in some ways.

Peace.
