One Last Look into Hell
May 19, 2007 - Baghdad, Iraq - U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair makes a final visit to Iraq, a country whose future may define the legacy of his decade in power. BlairŐs decision to join U.S. President George W. Bush and send British troops into Iraq in 2003 despite huge opposition at home was perhaps the defining moment of his rule. On May 10, 2007, Blair announced his intention to resign as Labour Party leader June 27, 2007. Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown will replace Blair as prime minister.
