 <description>&lt;font class=&quot;articleTxtBody&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the pro-European majority that lives on the other side of the Channel, Tony Blair is regarded with envy and disappointment.

Disappointment because they had hoped for more from the most pro-European British leader anyone will see for some time. And yet both Britain and &lt;a href=&quot;http://europa.eu/abc/history/index_en.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt; are different because of Blair, and, in spite of the disappointment, both are the better for him.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opendemocracy.net/tony_blair_and_europe.jsp&quot; class=&quot;read-more&quot; title=&quot;Read the rest of this posting.&quot;&gt;Read the rest of this post...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opendemocracy.net/tony_blair_and_europe.jsp&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
