Tony Blair - history will judge him kindly

Ten years of government led by Tony Blair will shortly come to an end.
I'm going to list the things that I think should be remembered about him and his term of office.
The first Labour leader to win three general elections with large majorities.
The minimum wage.
The Freedom of Information Act.
The incorporation of the Human Rights Convention into British law.
Power Sharing in Northern Ireland.
Greater tolerance for minorities - the introduction of Civil Partnerships.
Greater equality and protection of minorities.
Better maternity and paternity pay.
Holiday rights.
A decade of low inflation.
A decade of economic growth.
Free entrance to museums and galleries.
Family Tax Credits.
IRAQ
