Tony Blair's desire to save Africa is admirable; his ideas are not

Watching Tony Blair go about his Africa business is an act of faith:
you either believe or you are forced to suspend your disbelief. I
admire the drive and determination with which he is trying to purge
what he sees as a 'stain on the world's conscience', but when he speaks
of my continent like that, I wonder who his audience is: African or
European?
Africans are nothing if not humble, but there is something about having
your continent referred to as a stain on the world's conscience that
makes even the most docile of us queasy with indignation. None the
less, I know what Mr Blair means or at least which audience he is
talking to.
