Humbler Tony Blair

The new kinder, humbler, simpler Tony Blair is beginning to puzzle me. Yesterdays press conference where he said he couldn't solve all the problems but something had to be done to make people respect each other actually seemed genuine. Maybe it was the lighting, or maybe, like a man facing up to his own mortality and trying to put things right before the end, Tony is facing up to his political mortality and wants to make a difference to society so that he will be remembered for more than the Iraq War.
