Okay, I just wiki'ed David Milliband.
I still don't understand what is the fuzz all about. (Apart, of course, from those two girls David's got locked up in his cellar and his time spend in a Pakistani terrorist training camp.)

Is he the guy from American Idol? I really don't think he was all that bad and I think he was sleeping with Paula which makes him OKAY in my book!1
Baby Quit Your Cryin' Put Your Clown Britches On!!!
I always thought of him as a younger blair clone... polished, youthful looking and seems to come across well... similar views from what I know as well...
I feel honoured an American knows him well enough to consider him evil... I on the other hand haven't got a clue who the foriegn secertary for Belguim is....

Bring back Robin Cook is what I'd say.
Bring back John Major and Jack Straw. Miliband is ok, I paid much more attention to him when he was the new kid on the block. He sounded much more robotic and stodgy - but looked even younger, so it was pretty creepy. His is getting better, I guess and the greying.
Hey, remember when he was talking about a new EU world order spreading into Russia? That was weird.

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

Yeah, er, John Major was a conservative PM over 10 years ago -Jack Straw is still a Cabinet Minister for the incumbent labour government. They were never in the same government.
If I'm honest with you, i'm not sure why you think they are worth bringing back, or whatever you'd do to Jack Straw for that matter (maybe like stale bread, wet and then pop in the oven for 5 mins?).
Do they enjoy a particular reputation out of the UK?
Major's major claim to fame (haha - sorry) was backstabbing Maggie Thatcher, shared however with the stigma of being at the helm when the last conservative govt tanked through incompetant administration.
I've no idea why Straw would be renowned. I mostly remember him for his perilous comments on Niqab wearing constituents...
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Fair play to Robin, he stuck to his guns and quit his job rather than get us into the Iraq mess. I think those kinds of principles and integrity are few and far between in modern politicians...
I could never in my lifetime imagine a Cameron, Blair or Milliband doing that...
Bring Jack Straw back ? I didn't realise he had gone anywhere...
