Blair taking a page from George's book

Tony Blair recently stated that he prayed to god for direction about whether to send troops to Iraq or not. I think this concept is very similar to that of Bush but I don't it will be as effective as it was GB for the following reason
1. The British public is a lot more mature in dealing with religion since it has been doing this a lot long longer than the American society.
2. GB's has had planned this very carefully ever since he decided to start contesting for Texas' governorship. Tony Blair has claimed to be religious but has not exhibited such strong religious inclinations.
Finally Bush has Carl Rove who was able to create a divide amongst Christians. I think a lot of people of people underestimate the capabilities of this man and he uses it as an effective weapon to pounce on the un-suspecting. How-ever shady Carl Rove might be I can't help but have a slight bit of adoration for this political genius.
Anyways Mr. Blair you cannot work the three G's in UK, you are better off doing good to the public.
Peace.
