I think we all instinctively knew this, but it is always
nice to have hard supporting evidence.
Blair is so clearly an extreme narcissist, perhaps even a
full-blown psychopath.
His personal ambitions could only be fulfilled in
partnership with the United States, Britain not truly having any longer
sufficient weight to throw around in the world.
George Bush offered Tony Blair, given Blair’s personality,
the opportunity of a lifetime: be a genuine war prime minister, get to portray
yourself as an opponent of tyrants, experience the gratitude afterwards of
America and its satraps (millions flowing in still), hear your name rung out
with praise, and feel very consequential.
The dark eccentricity of Tony Blair seems as though it
should have been obvious to the public from the start.
He and his wife are genuinely bizarre figures. But we all
have political systems full of glitches which do not serve genuine democracy,
Mr. Cameron for example now serving with 35% of the vote.
To see good examples of the weird Blairs:

Response to another
comment about being time to look into Doctor Kelly’s mysterious death in those
days:
Doctor Kelly, indeed.
But I doubt that was Blair's work, although he certainly helped
cover it up.
Kelly made the mistake of being honest with BBC and others.
Recall how BBC got its wings clipped, essentially for telling some truth, a
commodity with which Tony Blair was never comfortable. These events suggested
to other parties that Kelly might spill some seriously embarrassing additional knowledge.
Israel certainly is a possible candidate for his murder,
because Kelly, the arms expert, knew where the nuclear bodies were buried,
including what happened to the fissile material from South Africa's small
nuclear arsenal after apartheid’s collapse, which some speculate covertly went
to Israel.

comment:
"...murderous
regimes like Saddam's"?
You condemn yourself out of your own mouth for lack of
knowledge and meaningful perspective.
Saddam was a nasty piece of work, but the world has many
such men including the often overlooked, blood-drenched Netanyahu, and Saddam's
acts were nothing compared to Tony and George's handiwork.
The invasion of Iraq murdered about a million people,
destroyed the most advanced society in the Arab world, created two or three
million refugees, has close to split the country into rump states, and left
millions for years without jobs, electricity, and even clean water.
It also left countless long-lived dangers behind like tons
of depleted uranium dust and cluster-bomb bomblets. The invasion of Iraq was horror
on a colossal scale.
