14. It's odd for me to think that it was Tony Blair who was very comforting that day.

That was back before Tony had become a Bushco-fluffing weasel. He had a calm and reassuring presence when he made his remarks of solidarity while President Dumbass scurried all over the country like a scared bunny.
