Tony Blair to step down as Middle East peace envoy. The period since 2007 has been renowned as an exceptional era for peace in the Middle East and I am sure the Noble Prize is already in the post. And of course Mr Blair laid the ground work for this current era of regional peace with his brave and courageous decision to do whatever George W Bush told him to do from 2002 onwards.
No one can dispute Mr Blair's wider role in Middle East Peace. Why only this week Mr Blair was advising us to be realistic about democracy in the repressive US allied military dictatorship in Egypt. However he has a special role in the Israel Palestine conflict. Since 2007 Abu Euan, as I'm sure he is affectionately known in Arabic, has bravely done nothing to intervene as Israel three times indiscriminatingly used its highly sophisticated modern military on Gaza. It must be tremendously hard to say nothing as so many civilians and children are murdered and it takes a special kind of peace envoy to make no comment. Also on his watch he has rigorously had nothing to say as settler numbers double with important implications for peace.
The large salary he has received for the unique role he has played in the region is as well justified as his reputation as a peace maker.
