As special envoy of the EU-US-UN-RussiaQuartet to the Middle East, one would have expected Tony Blair to be extremely active in the past few days given current state of chaos in the Gaza strip.
For all I know, he may have been working hard... though I would have expected him to generate a little more media coverage. What I can say with certainty, is that he currently isn't in Tel-Aviv, but in Washington where he is receiving the Medal of Liberty, the highest American civil award, from George Bush. He's receiving the award in a joint ceremony with Australia's John Howard, Bush's other ally in the Iraq war.
George Bush, incidentally is also supposed to have gotten Blair the nomination as Middle East peace envoy.
Draw your own conclusions.
