Blair's support for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq has proven deeply unpopular at home where concern is also mounting about growing British casualties in Afghanistan. The prime minister has said he will step down this year in part because of public anger over his unswerving support for President George W. Bush's military intervention in Iraq. He reiterated on Friday that he believed it was 'ludicrous' to suggest ousting Saddam Hussein or the Taliban had inflamed Muslim opinion. Blair also said rolling 24-hour media cover broadcasting instant, often gruesome images also complicated the task politicians face persuading voters the battle is worth fighting. 'Public opinion will be divided, feel the cost is too great, the campaign too long... They will be constantly bombarded by the propaganda of the enemy, often quite sympathetically treated by their own media, to the effect that it's really all 'our', that is, the West's fault,' he said.
