 unprovoked wars against countries and their populations. Not 
 surprisingly, Brown's first day in office on 28th of June, started with 
 news of three British troops killed in Iraq , and on 29th June, with an 
 alleged car bomb plot in London . 
  
 In the past ten years, the world has gone through fundamental, largely 
 irreversible changes. Yet despite having been part of the force 
 responsible for this change, Blair's take of the situation so far, has 
 been limited within the boundaries of official channels. Now, however, 
 that he has left office, perhaps he will become more in touch with 
 realities on the ground. 
  
 He may notice the occasional pieces of independent commentary in the 
 media. He may google "Blair and Iraq" and see the title "Blair Knew 
 Iraq Had No WMD" or in a rainy day, whilst drinking tea in his recently 
 purchased multimillion pounds house in Connaught Square, he may come 
 across those countless blogs and photo-blogs that have forever 
 documented the role of his servile and interventionist foreign policy 
 in bringing about misery and instability in the world. 
  
 The day a war criminal becomes an envoy of peace is an Orwellian 
 nightmare having come true, and a wake up call to us all. 
  
 As time goes by, whether he likes it or not, Tony Blair will find out 
 how he is viewed by the real "international community". His 'legacy' 
 will be a lesson for other politicians who rely too much on propaganda 
 to support and protect their agenda, whilst underestimating the power 
 of an increasingly informed public opinion.
