Tony Blair would appear to be too rational for the British "fascifists". That's what Orwell called them and he would now be a hero for it if he hadn't since been flushed down his own memory hole by them:
"Regarding Iran, do you agree with the comparisons to the 1930s that we often read about?

[Blair:] When you have the President of a country as powerful as Iran say those things, it may be very foolish of us to assume he doesn't mean them. And when he's also trying to acquire a nuclear weapon, then I think the warning signs are pretty clear... I think for a president of a country to say they want to wipe another country off the face of the earth and at the same time he's trying to acquire a nuclear weapons capability - if we don't get worried about that, future historians will raise a few questions about us and about our judgment.
