Blair has failed to influence US
Prime Minister Tony Blair's foreign policy has failed because of his inability to influence Washington and his successor must carve out a leading role for Britain within Europe instead, a report said yesterday.
The Chatham House think-tank said in a wide-ranging analysis of Blair's foreign policy that he was the first to recognize how the United States would react to the September 11 attacks, but made a huge mistake in backing its war on Iraq.
The influential London-based institute said the prime minister had erred in failing to coordinate a European response that might have tempered Washington's actions.
