Blair - we must work with 'Axis of Evil' states
By Philip Webster in London and Tom Baldwin is Washington
The first cracks in the united front over Iraq between Tony Blair and President Bush appeared last night as the Prime Minister offered Iran and Syria the prospect of dialogue over the future of Iraq and the Middle East.

Bush and Blair had fundamental differences about the justification of the invasion of Iraq since day one. Bush didn't give a crap and the Bush policy was the one that is in play to this day.
This line of approach is integral and consistent to Blair's original position regarding the invasion of Iraq (the viewpoint ignored by Bush). It is to be noted that many (non-American) liberals were quite happy to support Blair's arguments for the invasion of Iraq (but NOT Bush's reasons).
