I understand that. But Hitler is/was a much more "quantifiable" threat for everyone and their brother and mother to see. I can understand how people can think of the war on terrorism in more detached and abstract terms because it's essentially a stealth war. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it.
Tony Blair has more stones than anyone in this whole mess because he's getting his nuts put through the grinder daily and there is a high probability it will cost him his position barring a Pearl Harbor moment that galvanizes the British public.
