Blair Becomes First Western Leader in Postwar Iraq

Hmmm ... lots happening today. This from Reuters:

British Prime Minister Tony Blair became the first Western leader on Thursday to visit Iraq since the war that toppled Saddam Hussein, but flew straight into controversy over Iran and weapons of mass destruction ...

... Sawers told reporters Blair was briefed by Bremer on economic problems, crime, remaining members of Saddam's Baath party, and most importantly the "growing concern about Shia Islamism which is clearly being supported by Iranian elements."
