Blair has more incentive to put a "humanitarian" mask on what he does. He comes from a party which was once considered left-wing, though in my view the British Labour Party has always supported imperialism (not without some hesitation and internal conflict at times). Also he has a role to play as a "soft cop" for GWB's "hard cop". But he's still a cop. Imperialism and capitalism need their sanctimonious creeps as well as their "John Wayne" types. There is a good French expression to describe someone like Blair. He is a "faux Jesus".
