The new Robert McNamara

The former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, is signing on with right-wing US evangelicals like Rick Warren to launch a "faith offensive" in North America.

Look for Blair, a recent Catholic convert, to juggle his past as a liberal politician with the demands of the US religious right- which is virtually indistinguishable from the Republican Party- for a new British marquee name, now that Churchill and C.S. Lewis have been mined out.

Whatever became of his assignment as the EU peace envoy to the Middle East?
