When Blair Left 10 Downing Street

Tony Blair announces that he ia stepping down after 10 years as prime minister and 13 as Labour leader. Blair will be remembered for his support for the USA invasion of Iraq. Blair rallied to America's aid after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and committed British troops to the U.S. invasion in 2003. He did so despite opposition from a majority of British citizens. One million anti-war demonstrators marched in London's Trafalgar Square shortly before U.S. and British troops rolled into Iraq.
