I’m not sure what definition of narcissism you’re working with here but this has been the daydream of leftists since the Bush era at least. Not for Mr. Blair per se but certainly for his US partner in crime. I think we’d all like to live in a world where you can point out that the emperor has no clothes and get some things done.
It’s not narcissism. It’s idealism. Obviously that too can be a negative but it’s not inherently the same sort of negative.
The fact that Mr. Garcia tried to follow through with what many of us wanted to do to Bush … I don’t think that’s the wrong kind of idealism. As wrybread pointed out, he’s got us talking about Mr. Blair’s war crimes again. Not to say much will come of it but it’s certainly something more than we had the day before he pulled the citizen’s arrest.
