Joel over at The Mole Hole opines that Tony B. would be a good choice for the EU Presidency.
I am sure he would be a good person for the job.
But I am not sure that the UK should seek such intimacy with an entity which really does not offer much in the way of support for US/UK interests.
I have always liked the headline:
ENGLISH CHANNEL FOGBOUND – CONTINENT ISOLATED!
France and Germany are the powers on the ground east of the Channel.
They seek a counterweight to US global hegemony.
Britain still tries to follow the Churchillian maxim: “Stick closely with the Americans.”
Britain has far more in common with the US than with the EU.
At least, I hope she still does.
I have faith.

Tony Blair has too many detractors back at home to have any further political influence that would favor U.S. policy (and what should be correct British policy).
I hate to see his politics go to waste.
Britain is slowly and inexorably being drawn to a new world order with it's euro cousins. An island in geographic terms only. So if you accept the inevitability of the EU, then do what you can to influence that bunch. Maybe Tony Blair can effect some of that policy.
