I've no doubt that Blair was a good friend of the US but that does not mean he did the world a favour.
On the contrary he did no do what was in the UK's best interest.
Come to that he really wasn't a good friend to the US he should have told Bush that Bush was a whack job and needed to get some medication. So in retrospect he was GWB's poodle and a bad friend to the US.
As the region is now destabilised he could hardly be termed a stabilising influence.
