Blair announces his resignation

Blair announced today that he would resign on June 27 after a decade as prime minister and 13 years as leader of the Labour Party. It is inevitable that he will be remembered for the 2003 Iraq War. He may never be able to escape the Iraq legacy.What I think however is that Blair has energised modern politics and has always been acting boldly and always challenged this fast-ever changing world in a frontline. He will also be remembered for many other contributions and initiatives he made. (The Northern Ireland power-sharing government, Kosovo, Action on Africa, Climate change, fighting global terrorism etc)Perhaps, not only Britain needed him but also the international community needed his leadership in a past decade.
