Tony Blair soon to cause great outrage
Tony Blair to say battle against Islamic extremism is paramount

In a speech to Bloomberg in London on Wednesday, the former Labour prime minister will say: “The important point for western opinion is that this is a struggle with two sides. So when we look at the Middle East and beyond it to Pakistan or Iran and elsewhere, it isn’t just a vast unfathomable mess with no end in sight and no one worthy of our support. It is in fact a struggle in which our own strategic interests are intimately involved; where there are indeed people we should support and who, ironically, are probably in the majority if only that majority were mobilised, organised and helped.
