THANK YOU, MR CARTER

AFTER the nauseating exchange of congratulations between President Bush and Tony Blair at the White House Rose Garden on Thursday it was a relief to hear former President Jimmy Carter's assessment of their relationship during an interview he gave on BBC radio's Today programme yesterday morning. In Mr Carter's opinion Blair's almost undeviating support for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world. He said that the Iraq war had caused deep schisms on a global basis and that Mr Blair's subservience to the president may have had the effect of prolonging the war and increasing the resultant tragedy.
