[...] It must be truly clinically depressing – time to see a doctor, Doctor? – to watch the sick man of Europe rushing around the world unstoppably forging new careers in all sorts of areas, as well as founding Sports and Faith Foundations, making influential noises in business and learning circles and taking on the biggest issue of our time – the future of the world’s climate. And then there’s EUROPE! [...]

Hello Mr Gancarski,

And thank you for your comment here. Yes, editors have fun with headlines, don’t they?

The reason I thought it was appropriate to quote it here was the present fuss about the ‘unstoppable power of Mr Blair’ – or at least as interpreted by his opponents.

As for the currency amlagamation idea – well it was just a thought. I do agree that the Amero is likely to happen first. The ‘Grand Americas’ will then be much stronger politically and financially.

And it seems the USA and/or Europe are likely to be relegated within coming years due to the growing strength of the east. If so, we should know who our friends are, in order to compete internationally in trade, as well as in other international concerns. Wars, battles, even terrorism (possibly) all eventually become of historical interest mainly. But when I was studying international trade, I recall thinking that the “oldest profession” was not as often cited, prostitution. It was swapping one’s woman for a cow/sheep/peck or two of grain/land/tools.

Why?

For food.

Anyway, just a thought.

We have to think ahead. Thus, imho, Mr Blair must not be lost to international politics.

Thanks for resuscitating my article on Tony Blair. I didn’t choose that headline, for what it’s worth. The currency amalgamation theory you advance is interesting — though I personally think there will be a push towards the Amero soon after the next President is inaugurated. All of this “hope” and “change” in the air suggests — to me, at least — that the dollar is due to take a hit.

Thanks for the link, Margaret. I’ve added it to the page.

I can’t quite make my mind up about what the Tories think over Blair & the EU. They have their own problems over Europe – and perhaps they’d quite like BIG decisions, like the euro to be taken out of their hands and become a fait accompli.

Then Cameron, IF he becomes PM next time, wouldn’t have such a fight on his hands over this and other EU issues.

Anyway, it’s clear a lot of them miss Blair, especially since few of them seem to like Brown.

I think Blair has LONG been committed to Europe – much more than many in Labour.

There’s no doubt a Blair presidency would annoy plenty on all sides.

imagine if the tories win the next election and blair is eu president he would still be above them no wonder the tories and their companions the papers are so against blair becoming eu president and willdo or say anything to stop it this however could make blair take up the post just to annoy the press
