Blair and Hamas

The Times: Has an Exclusive, former UK PM Tony Blair and now Envoy to the Middle East wants to bring Hamas in to discussions about peace in the region. The Obama Administration will have to be careful with this idea, there is still the Jewish Lobby in the United States, also Obama wants to get re-elected, losing Florida with its large older Jewish population would not be a good idea. Also there is the Israeli elections next month, if a more Conservative Government comes in to power this could limit the moves of Obama. PM Gordon Brown must wish Mr Blair would go to Spain to write his book on his time in power.
