More quotes by Tony Blair
The problem with the old ideology was that it suppressed the individual by starting with society. But it is from a sense of individual duty that we connect the greater good and the interests of the community
Tony Blair
There are literally thousands of sites. As I was told in Iraq, information is coming in the entire time, but it is only now that the Iraq survey group has been put together that a dedicated team of people, which includes former UN inspectors, scientists and experts, will be able to go in and do the job properly.
Tony Blair
Conflict is not inevitable, but disarmament is... everyone now accepts that if there is a default by Saddam the international community must act to enforce its will.
Tony Blair
If what the science tells us about climate change is correct, then unabated it will result in catastrophic consequences for our world.
Tony Blair
How do we deal with not just the acts of violence, but the extremist ideology that lies behind them? Because though the numbers of fanatics that go and join and kill for a group like ISIS are measured in tens of thousands, those that support the wider ideology, I'm afraid, you measure in tens of millions or more.
Tony Blair
You choose your own reality and you - social media then amplifies those conspiracy theories. So that's why I say social media is itself a revolutionary phenomenon.
Tony Blair
The spread of freedom is the best security for the free.
Tony Blair
I think it is vitally important to study History. If we are going to lead Britain safely into the future, it is essential that we understand our country's historical roots. If we can learn the lessons of the past, we will be able to avoid making mistakes in the future.
Tony Blair
We expected, I expected to find actual usable, chemical or biological weapons after we entered Iraq.
Tony Blair
I can't stand politicians who wear God on their sleeves.
Tony Blair
The public think the politicians don't know or care about their lives and the politicians feel misunderstood.
Tony Blair
If we take all this actions and if it turns out not be true, we have reduced pollution and have better ways to live, the downside is very small. The other way around, and we don’t act, and it turns out to be true, then we have betrayed future generations and we don’t have the right to do that.
Tony Blair
If you're interested in politics and you're not following it, then it's a little bizarre.
Tony Blair
I abhor Saddam's regime, but the basis has to be disarmament.
Tony Blair
I may find Saddam Hussein's regime abhorrent - any normal person would - but the survival of it is in his hands.
Tony Blair
That's the art of leadership. To make sure that what shouldn't happen, doesn't happen.
Tony Blair
For me, 9/11 was a game changer. It altered my perception of the security threat we faced. I took the position that Britain should be shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. It was a big decision I didn't take it lightly, or in ignorance of its consequences. It's a big commitment for a country to give, but I believed it was the right thing to do.
Tony Blair
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the intelligence was genuine.
Tony Blair
In April 1991, after the Gulf war, Iraq was given 15 days to provide a full and final declaration of all its WMD.
Tony Blair
I believe the bicentenary offers us a chance not just to say how profoundly shameful the slave trade was - how we condemn its existence utterly and praise those who fought for its abolition - but also to express our deep sorrow that it could ever have happened and rejoice at the better times we live in today.
Tony Blair
