You may not agree with his policies, or find his manner appeals to you, but how can you not say he has admirable qualities as a human being.

I don't know if you can call public deceit and shady business practices with blind trusts as 'admirable qualities' - but I do admire his choices of media representatives who have such a decent job of shoring up his image - but even they have their limitations. I don't think that even they can rescue Blair from the latest 'deception scandal' (and there have been *many* of them!).
I equally am unimpressed by 'strength of conviction' - because 'strength of conviction' when untempered by moral charactor brings out the worst excesses in man. Hitler had a strong and unwavering conviction with regards to the 'jewsish question', Stalin had an unwavering conviction towards the construction of a socialist state and the strength of charactor to forge it - not matter what the cost...
